Background

AWFA has administered a successful Representative program since 1974, with teams ranging from U11 to U16. These teams have over 250 participants who are selected throughout a trialing process held during October and November each year.

Our Representative Program offers an opportunity for players to gain access to further pathways to continue their footballing journey, as well as having access to the best coaching and development in the Albury-Wodonga area. Our teams attend several tournaments throughout NSW and Victoria, including but not limited to tournaments in Bathurst, Geelong, and Shepparton.
