Private academy squads — IFA
Competitive squads run by private academies in Independent Football Australia leagues. Paid programs outside the Football NSW pathway — check fees and level fit before committing.
Trials: Enquiries for the full-time program are open through the academy's online enquiry form. No trial date is published.
Prodigy Football Academy runs a full-time program alongside holiday camps and private coaching. Entry starts with an enquiry rather than a registration, so expect a conversation about fit before any trial.
Trials: TBA
Academy entry is via a year-round development-squad application/invitation rather than an annual EOI, and no 2027-specific intake was found (website blocks automated checks).
Private academy squads — SPL
Squads entered in the Sydney Premier League, an independent academy competition. Paid programs outside the Football NSW pathway.
Trials: TBA
Fielded squads in SPL 2026 Season 2; 2027 entry and squad EOI not yet announced.
