ACADEMY PATHWAYS
ENJOY THE JOURNEY.
Our Academy Pathways program is designed for ambitious players who desire to play at a high level, but who have not yet developed the qualities necessary to do so.
The program's purpose is to provide a professional and constructive development environment that serves as a pathway into our IFA Academy Squads program - an advanced program that provides players with an opportunity to compete against the best.
WHY US?
Our Academy Pathways program is the ONLY program in Sydney's North Shore that provides players with a direct pathway into both an Official IFA Member Academy and, through our partnerships with local clubs, opportunities to play at an NSFA Super League, Diamond League and JDL level.
