SFC JR ACADEDEMY PROGRAM

Suburban FC’s Jr. Academy Program

The SFC Jr. Academy Program, established in 2023, is designed for the most passionate and committed players in the U7/8-U11 age groups at Suburban FC.

This program offers the highest level of training and gameplay that Suburban FC has to offer at this age and stage.

Jr. Academy players must be enrolled in the SFC Skill Centre program, as they will participate in both. Players invited to the Jr. Academy will train weekly, led by Nationally-qualified coaches and overseen by our most experienced staff coaches.

The Jr. Academy program follows the Suburban FC player pathway, progressing players into the U12-U18 Academy programs.

**Important: The Jr. Academy program is invite-only. To be considered, players MUST be registered for the Super Saturdays Spring Season AND Summer Skill Centre OPTION 2
