About this event

Stella Football Academy is trialling for its 2027 Full-Time Program across two Saturdays: 15 August and 22 August 2026, at Mason Park in Homebush. The program covers U8 to U16. The academy lists both dates as its trial window rather than saying whether players attend one session or both — worth asking when you register. Registration opened on 15 July and closes on Sunday 30 August 2026. That is a week after the final trial, so the academy is still accepting expressions of interest after the trial dates have passed — useful if you miss both Saturdays, though you would want to ask what happens next. Session times by age group have not been published for 2026.

Who it suits

Players U8–U16 looking at a full-time academy program for 2027. This is a paid pathway outside the Football NSW system, so weigh it against a club JDL or Youth League place rather than treating it as a step above one.

Before you register

  • Two Saturdays are listed — 15 and 22 August. Ask whether your child attends one session or both.
  • Session times by age group have not been published for 2026. Confirm your child's time before travelling.
  • If you find a Stella page listing "Saturday August 23rd" and "August 30th" with session times, that is LAST YEAR's page — those dates were Saturdays in 2025 and are Sundays in 2026. Use 15 and 22 August.
  • Registration closes 30 August, a week after the last trial, so late EOIs are accepted — ask what the process is if you register after the trial dates.
  • No fee is published for the 2027 Full-Time Program on the EOI form. Ask what the program costs before trialling.
