Female Training Program

Sydney FC’s Female Training Program (FTP) was created to develop and improve young female footballers and this pathway provides a link between grassroots football and the professional game, closing the gap on the current lack of opportunities for girls to transition from one to the other.

The Female Training Program is split into two separate training programs:

  • FTP North – Sky Park, Sydney FC Centre of Excellence, Macquarie University Playing Fields (Synthetic Fields)
  • FTP South – Kareela Oval (Bates Drive, Kareela Synthetic Fields)

The program provides opportunities for selected talented players to train under the Sydney FC Youth philosophy.

YU GAINS SCHOLARSHIP

In the program’s first year of operation it has already seen two players progress into the Female Development Squad.

It is run by coaches who work at the Sydney FC Academy, or have previously worked at the Academy, and follows a curriculum based on the actions and behaviours taught at our Academy to maximize development of players of this age.
