ESSENTIAL SQUADS

During sign-up, create a "Buddy Code" e.g. "Footy123" and share the code with other parents for when they sign up. • 2 players = Free mini football each. • No need to register at the same time. • Footies are given on Day 1. A Win-Win for spreading the word and being a trailblazer to help shape PlayPerform's Future! :)

The Academy is small group training designed for players to develop their skills, fitness, and game understanding in a individual-focused, yet team environment. The squads run each school term for 8 or 12 weeks, with a mix of in-person and virtual options.

The Academy is open to players of specific age groups and skill levels - with the U13/14s to undertake baseline standards and testing to be accepted. We help place athletes in the right squad based on age, ability, and goals to ensure everyone trains with suitable peers, and to maintain faster development and competitiveness.

Yes, our squads are designed to complement Talent Pathways. We respect the feedback players receive from pathway coaches and use it to help simplify the messaging and focus on key development areas. We offer a range of programs, from in-person squads to online mentoring, private coaching, and video analysis, so athletes can get the individualised, person-first support they need alongside their existing commitments.

Each athlete signs up to our online group, with perform youth squads including a private space. Here you can share videos, ask questions, and receive weekly coach feedback. This ongoing support between sessions reinforces key coaching points and ensures the learning sticks!

Players often stay for several years, and can progress from under-11s to under-16s with specific training that supports their development and prepares them for higher pathways.
