Top End Youth Academy

Top End Youth Academy

The Top End Youth Academy will deliver programs for boys and girls aged 10-15 from the Greater Darwin region. The Academy will focus on:

  • Fundamental Skill Development
  • Football Education and game awareness
  • Off-field growth including wellbeing and leadership
  • Structured match play and development tours
  • Individual development planning for each participant

Self-Nominations Are Now Open

In line with the Academy’s inclusive, community-first approach, AFLNT is pleased to confirm that self-nominations are now open for players who are not currently aligned with an TIO NTFL Club. This ensures every young Territorian aged 10–15 can be part of the program and take the next step in their football journey.
