The Sydney FC Academy Football Schools program gives talented young footballers the opportunity to develop their game in a high-performance environment while completing their secondary education.

Players train regularly with Sydney FC Academy-aligned coaches, developing their technical, tactical and physical abilities while learning what it takes to perform at the next level.

Develop your game

The program provides players with:

• Sydney FC Academy-aligned coaching
• Individual player development and assessments

More than football

We believe developing young footballers is about more than what happens on the pitch.

Our partner schools provide academic, wellbeing and pastoral support, helping students balance their football ambitions with their education.

Train. Learn. Develop.
