Applications for the 2026 QBE Sydney Swans Academy Talent Assessment Sessions are now open.

Under 14 (born 2012) and Under 15 (born 2011) athletes can apply to trial for the QBE Sydney Swans Academy.

The Talent Assessment sessions provide an opportunity for talented athletes and AFL footballers who reside in a local government area aligned with the Sydney Swans Academy program to trial to be a part of the 2027 Sydney Swans Academy.

We are testing for elite athletes/footballers who have not entered the Swans Academy in the younger age groups and have displayed high level achievement with your local club or an alternative sport.
