Junior Under 13 to Under 18

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR 2026 NOW OPEN

Building a well-rounded player with character, drive and teamwork.

Coaching of the young players is a key part of the Club’s philosophy.  We believe that players of all abilities should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential and we invest in experienced Technical Directors. 

We want the training to be productive and skills based, but most of all enjoyable for the players and conducted in a supportive environment.  We aim to provide a appropriately qualified coach for all of our junior teams.  

Players participate in various divisions of the Football West competition. Games are on Sunday mornings, with training and home games are play at Mount Claremont Oval and UWA Sports Park. 

Football West organises teams from all clubs into different divisions according to playing strength.  For this reason, players are assessed by our qualified coaches at the pre-season training sessions and placed into appropriate teams.  

UWANFC offers both Junior Academy (‘A’ stream Junior Development League teams), Junior ‘B’ stream (higher North Division teams), and Junior ‘C’ stream teams (lower North Divisions), depending on player numbers.

Additional programs are available for players seeking to further improve their skills and game awareness, at each level. Recommended programs for each level are noted below, and can be booked via our Products page. 

Further information on our Academy program can be found here Academy Banner — UWA-Nedlands Football Club
