To further bridge the gap between female grassroots football and professional football, Sydney FC has launched the Development Squad which underpins the Sydney FC Liberty A-League Women’s team.
This Development Squad will consist of girls aged 14-16 with players being identified through FTP and scouting at games.
This squad is the underpinning squad which will feed talented players into the Liberty A-League Women’s side.
During the A-League Women’s season, the squad will train twice per week at Sky Park under the guidance of Sydney FC’s technical staff, providing a well-rounded football education.
