Academy Programs

Full Time Program

Our Full Time Programs run for 40 weeks and are designed for elite players who in most cases have previously played in our Development Squads and are ready to move from WFA’s High Performance or Technical Groups into a more challenging environment. These players participate in high quality matches against other Academies, train twice a week and are registered to play in the Independent Football Australia league.

Independent Football Australia ("IFA")

 The IFA is Australia's premier competition for Academy players, offering structured, year-round Academy v Academy league and various tournaments across the year for players to develop their football, whilst cultivating their love for the game in a safe and nurturing environment.
