2016 Peel Thunder Academy Program

Peel Thunder Football Club would like to invite you to trial for our 2016 Peel Thunder  Academy.

The Peel Thunder Academy is a development and coaching program designed for aspiring footballers between the ages of 13 and 18 years.

The Academy enables Peel Thunder to identify and nurture local talent within our local zone, constructing a pathway for young players to realise their potential,and perhaps become a senior player in the future. Players will participate in 1 training session per week from February with the aim to develop physical and technical skills. Successful players will participate in academy games through the year and in the WAFL development carnivals.

The Academy aims to attract promising athletes, allowing the Club to fast-track the development of up to 300 young footballers within the Peel and South West Region each year.

The key objectives of the Peel Thunder Academy are as follows:
- Target and attract potential WAFL players aged between 13 and 18 years

- Fast-track the development of these individuals by providing quality coaching, facilities, infrastructure and support services

- Provide quality skills coaching and analysis

- Provide leadership, teamwork and mental skills to assist in the personal development of participants

-  Provide best-practice physical training and nutritional advice to support optimal performance

-  Increase the number of local players progressing to senior football within the Peel Thunder Football Club
