DEPPRO WA State Academy 1st intakeSaturday, April 29, 2017 - 6:53 AM

The first intake of players for the 2017 DEPPRO WA State Academy has been completed.

This includes 29 players in the 16’s age group and 30 in the 18’s age group. A second intake of players will be undertaken following trial games in May.

Academy players will participate in the State program over the next three months in preparation for the AFL National Championships.

The State 18s schedule includes trial games against a WA Country Football League representative team and WAFL 21s side, while the State 16s will play trial games against a State 17s team, WA Country Football League Colts and WA Amateur Football League Colts.

Teams will be selected from the 16s and 18s squads to represent WA at the AFL National Championships in June and July.

State Talent Manager Adam Jones welcomed all of the players to the Academy program and congratulated them on their selection.

“We are looking forward to working with each of the players selected to help them develop their skills and achieve their full potential both on and off the field,” he said.

“The State Academy program is a critical part of the WA talent pathway and all of the players selected have a great opportunity to showcase their talent and earn the chance to represent WA at the National Championships.”
