Chelsea FC Academy Program Trials Information and registration

Do you want to take your football to the next level?

Then register your EOI to Trial for The Chelsea FC Academy!

Due to popular interest and supportive feedback, Chelsea FC in partnership with S4S Academy will now run a 44-week Academy program, where players will train twice a week, compete in tournaments and have a holistic approach to further developing their overall football game. This will give them the support and skill they need to prepare them for higher or Chelsea FC Senior Mens & Women's Football Programs.

We can now confirm our new long-term partnership with S4S Academy who will take the lead.
TOGETHER we will be under the same banner as The Chelsea FC Academy



The Chelsea FC Academy program will include the following:

- All players will need to complete a trial to be considered for the program therefore you could be unsuccessful.

- The program is for players aged U8-U14 only (at next year)

- It runs for 44 weeks, starting with trials in September or early October. The program itself begins in October and concludes with the final game of the FV Sub Juniors/Juniors season.

- There will be a 4-week break at the end of December and early January, as well as a 1-week break during each school holiday.

- The program will feature an experienced/qualified coach who will conduct two 1-hour training sessions per week and oversee game day responsibilities.

- Teams will participate in several tournaments throughout the Program.

- Parents will be required to pay Chelsea FC's standard registration fees PLUS the Academy fees*.
  (*Academy fees are: $315 per term + Academy Uniform Fees + Tournament fees)

- An additional night of specialised training may be available for an extra cost, depending on interest.


So, we can plan accordingly and adequately, for 2025 the program will be for 9 months, commencing January 2025.
From October 2025, the program will be the full 44 weeks.

More details to follow so stay tuned...
