The FV Academy is part of Football Australia's national Academy program, developing the best talent in our state and connecting them with future opportunities.
It will enhance the technical skills, tactical understanding and high-performance behaviours of young players helping them to understand and develop as footballers.
The FV Academy creates a football environment which identifies and develops world class players, enhancing the development pathway into the Talent Development Scheme (TDS), National Youth Championships (NYC) and Under 17 National Boys and Girls teams.
It is expected that graduates will move on to A-Leagues, National Second Division, National Premier League Clubs or overseas clubs to continue their development, and that they will also be selected in our junior national teams.
The Academy is a three (3) Tier program that facilitates the identification and development of young Australian players in metropolitan, regional and rural areas. It will enhance the technical skills, tactical understanding and high performance behaviours of young players helping them to understand and develop our Australian style and brand of Football.
Talented players will be invited to trial for the program annually, with trials held in October each year.
