AFL/W Academy
The Court Grammar Cavaliers AFL/W Academy provides a unique opportunity for male and female students to pursue excellence in Australian Rules Football and embark on a journey of personal growth and development.
The Specialist AFL/W Program, established in 2017, gives talented Year 6 to Year 10 students the opportunity to further develop their footballing ability through skill development, gameplay strategies and tactics and theoretical understanding. In Year 11 and 12, students are provided with the option to further improve their understanding of the AFL and sport industry through Certificate II in Sport Coaching and Certificate III in Sport, Recreation and Aquatic.
The Academy follows the structure of a Specialised Physical Education class, made up of practical and theoretical lessons. Students are also encouraged to learn about the other supporting roles in the game, including umpiring, coaching, strength and conditioning, recovery, nutrition and sport psychology.
Coaching Staff
The Academy is committed to providing players with the highest standard of coaching and teaching. We currently have a Head of AFL/W Academy and two AFL specialist teachers. All football staff involved in the Academy are accredited AFL coaches with experience coaching at an elite level.
