The Gold Coast Knights partnership with junior club Magic United TFA for the upcoming NPL season in 2019 and beyond will focus heavily on providing a pathway from junior to senior divisions within football on the Gold Coast.

Magic United TFA is committed to developing players that will continuously grow and challenge themselves in the quest to become the best their talents allow. The main aim is to provide a development system that looks to inspire and equip players with skill, strength, and competence that will guide players to long-term success in football. Overall, from grassroots football, the view is to take that to a new level with a common goal in raising future football leaders who will change the game.

The Total Football Academy was established in April 2003 by former premier league player Adem Poric and has become the leading provider of junior soccer development programs for school-aged children in Southern Queensland and Central Queensland.
