Swans Academy selects our talented juniors
THE QBE Sydney Swans Academy has again selected a large number of AFL North Coast players to be part of its Academy squads in 2025.
A total of 39 juniors from the region will now benefit from the Academy’s professional, age-appropriate development program.
Among the 39 players is an all-time high 10 players who’ve been chosen to be part of the Swans Academy’s top-end programs.
