In partnership with the AFL (NSW/ACT) and the GWS Giants, the Academy is introducing a new AFL Program for young players between the ages of 13 and 14 who meet specific selection criteria.
Talented young players will enter the Academy's AFL Centre of Excellence Program that will provide technical, educational and personal development opportunties over an intensive seven week period (23 April - 4 June 2012 tbc)
Centres of Excellence will be operated in the Auburn (Mona Park), Penrith (St Dominic's Penrith) and North West (Wright Reserve - Quakers Hill) areas under the Academy's banner, with highly accredited coaching staff guiding each 30 player squad and facilitating access to GWS Giants and AFL (NSW/ACT) resources.
The programs will feature weekly technical sessions as well as educational seminars and two tournament match days competing against each other and the Campbelltown Centre of Excellence squad.
The Centre of Excellence Program will provide a talent identification platform for the GWS Slater & Gordon Giants Academy and players will be selected from the Academy’s squads into a 25 player squad for each age group to compete against other GWS Giants talent zones, with the ultimate goal being selection in the Giants Academy.
