The Academy Program

UWANFC enables all children from the ages of 4 to 17 to play football to the best of their ability. We also identify the players who take football more seriously and wish to lift their level of play to a standard where they can compete at the highest levels in Perth. The UWANFC Football Academy is the place where our Junior Footballers advance their football competencies, and is the ‘A’ stream of our Football Pathways. It is a format to grow and master the foundations of sound technique with the use of our in-house curriculum to develop individuals .

Our program offers UWANFC Academy training to selected players from the MiniRoo and Junior Groups. Training for selected teams is at UWA Sports Park. The sessions run from 5:00 pm to 6:15 pm with the teams’ allocated coach and with specialised coaching.

Academy players will be offered additional learning through our Academy Immersion camps. This will include education on Sports Nutrition, physiotherapy and sports psychology.
