Building Futures Together: Keece Supports the Bulldogs Futures Academy
At Keece Group, we believe every strong future starts with opportunity and support. With 44 apprentices across our business, we’ve seen how the right guidance creates lasting impact.
That’s why Keece is proud to support the Bulldogs Futures Academy, a program dedicated to developing young athletes and providing clear pathways for aspiring footballers in Melbourne’s west. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to building people, not just projects.
About the Bulldogs Futures Academy
The Bulldogs Futures Academy is an invite-only initiative created by the Western Bulldogs Institute and the Western Jets. Its purpose is to provide more opportunities and a clear development pathway for the next generation of footballers in Melbourne’s west.
The program delivers:
Elite coaching and athletic development for Under 13 and Under 14 boys and girls.
Strength, conditioning, and leadership workshops to build skills on and off the field.
Access to high-performance facilities including Mission Whitten Oval and VU High-Performance Centre.
As a result, young athletes gain early exposure to professional training, leadership guidance, and holistic growth opportunities.
Why Keece Chose to Support the Academy
Keece’s partnership with the Bulldogs Futures Academy comes naturally. Both share a belief that growth starts with opportunity.
We see strong parallels between apprenticeship pathways and athlete development, both require discipline, teamwork, and support to thrive. In addition, Keece’s work across Melbourne’s west gives us a close connection to the same community the Academy serves.
By supporting this program, Keece helps create pathways that inspire young people to dream big, stay focused, and believe in their future. Also, Tayfun Sumer, Keece Director, is a lifelong Bulldogs fan and proud supporter of the program.
Shared Values and Community Impact
Both the Bulldogs Futures Academy and Keece believe in nurturing potential from the ground up.
Keece invests in apprentices; the Academy invests in future footballers. Together, we’re strengthening the next generation on the field and on the worksite. Over time, these investments create stronger communities, better opportunities, and brighter futures for Melbourne’s west.
