Registrations for Swans Academy trials now open
TALENTED athletes from across the Sydney Swans Academy Zone are invited to attend the trials for selection in the 2025 Academy program.
This year there will be no trials held in Coffs Harbour so Northern NSW athletes are advised to register for the Sydney sessions (scroll down for dates and times)
The trials in Sydney will be for BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS. The boys trials will be for players born from 2011 to 2014. The trials for girls will be for players born from 2011 to 2013.
Talent Assessment dates for athletes born in 2009 and 2010 will be announced shortly.
Players currently registered with the Swans Academy DO NOT need to trial again for the Academy.
It is important to note that there will be no opportunities for further trials if you are unable to attend the scheduled date for the player’s age group.
The assessment trials to be held at Tramway Oval (opposite the SCG) – Driver Avenue, Moore Park will involve a range of AFL skills, athletic testing and small sided games. Each player will receive a report with feedback following the assessment period.
