About NQSA & PRIDE Human Performance
Empowering Athletes. Building Communities. Leading with Purpose.
The North Queensland Sports Academy (NQSA) and PRIDE Human Performance Group are united by a single mission: to support individuals of all ages and stages in reaching their full potential—on the field, in the gym, and in life.
Born in North Queensland, we proudly deliver athlete-centred, community-driven high-performance programs across netball, football (AFL, Rugby League, Soccer), and a wide range of other sports.
We offer holistic development opportunities—from beginner to elite—through structured coaching, strength & conditioning, allied health support, and personalised athlete management.
At the heart of our work is PRIDE Human Performance, our strength, conditioning, and allied health hub, providing expert training, rehabilitation, and performance services for youth, adults, and professional athletes alike. From express 30-minute sessions to tailored long-term programming, we offer a supportive space where goals are understood, and progress is inevitable.
Whether you’re an aspiring Premier League netballer, a regional footballer with dreams of state selection, or an adult returning to sport after injury, we believe every athlete deserves access to expert support, regardless of postcode.
We proudly partner with schools, sporting associations, and families across the North—from Townsville to the Torres—and have built a reputation for integrity, innovation, and unwavering commitment to the people we serve.
Our Pillars:
💪 Athlete Development: From foundational skill-building to elite squad preparation, we tailor development pathways across sports, age groups, and ability levels.
🧠 Whole-Person Performance: We go beyond physical training, incorporating mindset coaching, mental health awareness, and off-field education to develop resilient, well-rounded humans.
🤝 Community Connection: We are deeply embedded in the North Queensland community—championing inclusion, supporting regional talent, and reinvesting into the people and places we serve.
🛠️ Customised Support: No two journeys are the same. That’s why we offer 1:1 coaching, team sessions, term-based programs, and flexible payment options to meet each athlete where they are.
