Sydney FC’s Academy Training Program helps improve players and also offers a key opportunity for our coaches to scout and select talent for our Academy squads from U13.
This season 11 of the 18 players in our U13 Academy squad came through our Academy Training Program (ATP).
The 2022/23 program is open for applications from talented 10, 11, 12-year-old boys, and 12, 13, 14-year-old girls who are currently part of SAP, GSAP or Development squads at their local association or NPL club.
We have extremely limited availability for 2023.
