ACADEMIES

The Football NSW Academy is the official player pathway for both boys and girls aged 6-14 years. Football NSW have designed an intensive development program aimed at both boys and girls aged 6–14 years in which players can train intensively with FNSW highly experienced and qualified staff in conjunction with their club team. These programs act as  feeder and shadow programs under the FNSW Pathway

Our qualified and experienced instructors will create a positive learning environment in which players can development the necessary skills for footballing success. Our instructors work through a yearly periodised plan which can be viewed on www.globalfootballsystem.com. Focus is on developing effective game skill and game intelligence.

The program consists of 2-3 session in the off-season, followed by 1-2 session during the winter season. This will allow players to train and compete with their chosen clubs. The Academy program is aimed to mirror the worlds best practice programs in that players train between 3-4 session per and play up to 50 games per year. Players must maintain this training load for a total of 42 weeks per year over a 15 year period. This is the necessary training load that is required in order for players to compete at international level. This is consistent with many of the top Academy programs elsewhere in the world.

Our programes cater for players of all levels.
