Aish Football Academy
Developing future AFL talent
The Aish Football Academy was established to provide talented young footballers with access to elite skill development, high performance coaching and game education pathways.
​
With coaching experience across SANFL and Sydney Swans Academy environments, our programs are designed to complement club football and accelerate player development both on and off the field.
​
We work with developing players across multiple age groups, helping improve kicking, decision making, game understanding, athletic movement and professional habits in a high standard training environment.
​
Our programs have supported players progressing into SANFL pathways, Sydney Swans Academy programs and GWS Giants Academy pathways, while continuing to complement club football development.

The players involved in our academy continue to show strong commitment, professionalism and passion for improvement. Our purpose is to help every athlete maximise their potential and become the best footballer and person they can be.

Pre-Sydney Swans Academy Trial Sessions
August 5, 12 & 19 | Waratah Oval

Preparing for the Sydney Swans Academy trials takes more than just skill. It requires confidence, composure and the ability to perform under pressure.
​
Our three-session program is designed to help players prepare both physically and mentally for trial day. Sessions will focus on skill execution under pressure, decision making, game awareness, and the key qualities Swans Academy selectors look for, while also helping players manage nerves and build confidence.
​
Led by Jesse Aish, Head Coach of Aish Football Academy Sydney, with Australian Football Hall of Fame member Michael Aish joining selected sessions, this program is open to players from all clubs looking to give themselves the best possible preparation.
