The AFL has announced the 2025 Marsh AFL National Academy squads, with a strong showing of Victorian talent named across the boys and girls squads.
The Marsh AFL National Academy squads comprise a selection of the most talented boys and girls footballers from across Australia who will take part in the program during their Draft year, including seven girls and 10 boys who play their local footy in Victoria.
All players named in the squads are born in 2007 and will be eligible to be selected in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft and 2025 Telstra AFLW Draft.
The 2025 Academy program will be the 28th annual intake for boys and ninth intake for girls.
The Marsh AFL National Academy is a holistic program that combines football and personal development.
The program provides the next generation of stars with valuable experiences, insights and opportunities in their Draft year which will best prepare them for the next steps in their football journey.
The Marsh AFL National Academy program is designed to ensure players are presented with unique opportunities and learnings that differ from other football programs they are involved in.
Content is delivered across three camps, commencing with a high-performance camp that will be held in Melbourne during December.
Two additional camps will be held during the 2025 season which will involve talent showcase matches where the Academy squads will represent their country as the Australia U18 team.
Further details on all camps and matches will be confirmed at a later date.
