If you’re up for the challenge, look no further than The Football Factory Academy.

Registrations to trial are currently open for The Football Factory Academy. If you’re looking to improve your child’s football skills in preparation for the Academy, we recommend our Development Squad programs. Before the start of a season we invite any and all players who want to take their football to the next level to trial for our Academy teams.

Following our 2023 Academy Winter Season, we look to the Academy Summer Season. Many of our teams in the Winter Season have been showcasing their exemplary skills & abilities throughout the season and in order to provide both our returning and new players a challenge in-line with their skills we will be running teams in the Summer Season for those born in and between 2009 and 2017 (ages 6 to 14).

If you would like to trial for our Academy, or check trial dates, times and locations, please do so using the register to trial button above. As always, you can subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out on announcements including future Academy trial dates.

Our Academy competes against other Academies from all over Sydney in the Premier Academy League (PAL) competition as well as the Sydney International Cup. For the 2023 Summer Season trials take place from late August with offers sent out soon after. All players will have multiple trial sessions for their age group and are requested to attend 4 sessions, or at a minimum 2, to ensure we can make a proper assessment. Training will commence after soon after offers have been finalised. The PAL competition is run over several months for the Summer Season, whereas the Sydney International Cup competition takes place over a few days (30th of September to 2nd of October 2023).

Our Academy gives players a platform to challenge themselves against quality opposition. If you are a current or previous Development Squad member we suggest the Academy as the next step in advancing your football development.
