ES LILYWHITES ACADEMY
In 2025 we’re changing the way our coaching programmes operate to promote a more holistic approach to player development and well-being.
Over the past few seasons Eastern Suburbs AFC have worked hard to develop a technically astute and attacking focused player that is capable and confident on the pitch, but now we’re looking further.
Under a refreshed technical team, the ES Lilywhites Academy will look to encompass players across all areas of the club. For more information on the ES Lilywhites Academy CLICK HERE, or check out Player Pathways.
Selection processes for NRF teams (travelling teams who play against other clubs) will remain the same, with the trial process carried out over Term 1. This gives coaches the best opportunity to get to know each individual from not only their technical/tactical ability, but also their social and physical attributes within the group.
