The Football Development Al-ahmadi Youth Academy Program is a commitment to the long term personal and football development of our players and teams and is one of the longest running football academies in Sydney. In fact, our Football Academy Program is known for its comprehensive approach to both player and team growth.

Balancing Football, Academics, and Life Skills

We help your child improve their group cohesion skills all whilst balancing important commitments between both school and football life. Your child will learn to better manage the inevitable pressures that arise in the early stages of life – a critical skill we strive for our students to carry into their football and well beyond.

Ultimately, we are here with strong passion to develop young human beings through the game of football.

Players who are accepted into the program following their trial period will join an existing team who train and play competitive football all year round. This integration process sets the foundation for success in our Football Academy Program.

Additionally, all coaches have or are acquiring coaching licenses, ensuring they are always up to date with coaching accreditations.

The players and teams on our football academy develop each year via a  pre-season training period, which includes trial matches and interstate tournaments. Our teams then progress into their participation in winter competition league and cup competitions. Participating in the Football Academy Program provides opportunities for development at all seasonal stages.

We are currently inviting U12 to U18 players to trial for our  squads.

If selected, players will:

• Join a squad that will train and play competition football all year round.
• Have the opportunity to participate in National Tournaments .
• Receive specialist training and preparation if they are Goalkeepers.
• Be considered for selection for annual International Tournaments and Training Camps in Ghana.
• Have the opportunity to Move to Germany to play in a semi professional team – post HSC.

The Al-ahmadi Youth Academy Program is based in Ablekuma-Joma and is a positive, alternate development pathway with overseas opportunities, if you’re not selected at GPL trials. Overall, the Football Academy Program offers a unique pathway for players targeting national and international development.
