Boys ADP
The APIA Development Program for boys U9 to U18, in Division 1 and Division 2.
Trial dates will be advised via email to registered players in due course and published on our APIA Leichhardt Juniors Facebook page.
Overview
The APIA Development Program (ADP) gives players the opportunity to train under accredited, licensed coaches guided by our ADP Technical Director, mastering the signature APIA style: Fast, Possession-Based, Attacking Football.
Built on the exact curriculum and tactical framework used across our elite teams, ADP squads compete in the Football Canterbury Association. It provides the ideal balance for players seeking elite-level training and structured competition in a community environment, without the heavy schedule of representative football.
For players aspiring to reach higher levels, the program serves as a proven pathway – with over 100 ADP graduates advancing directly into JDL and NPL programs.
Every ADP session is led by licensed coaches under the direct supervision of our ADP Technical Director. All players are assessed and graded during our official Training/Trial days to ensure balanced and development-focused team placements.
