We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at our first GFA 2027 trial session tomorrow! ⚽

We’ve had an amazing response, with 160 expressions of interest from players across ALL GDFA clubs – Griffith City, Hanwood, Leeton, YFC, YSC and Wests. Thank you so much for the incredible support!

Please check the times below to see when your child’s age group is scheduled. Arrive 20 minutes before and head to the tent to be checked in.

📅 Trial Times – Saturday 31 October and 7th November

9:30am – 10:30am: U10 Boys, U8/9 Girls, U14 Boys

👕 What to wear: Whatever kit you like, but please wear shin pads and boots.

⚽ What's on offer in 2027?

GFA is about providing players with more football, more development and more opportunities to compete, all in a positive and supportive environment. Our program includes:

- Full personalised playing uniforms.
- Two exciting partnerships with elite coaching programs, Futboltec and Canberra Football Education, including exclusive training camps and sessions right here in Griffith!
- An amazing coaching team committed to caring for, nurturing and developing every player, helping them grow in confidence, improve their skills and reach their potential both on and off the pitch.

The expected cost for the 2027 program is $405, covering the inclusions listed above.

We're incredibly excited about what we're building for 2027 and grateful for the support of families and clubs across the region.

See you all tomorrow!
