The Hampden Football Netball League is proud to announce the introduction of an U15 Talent Identification and Development Program in 2024.
The four-week program will be led by HFNL Talent Identification & Development Program Coordinator Brett Taylor and Western Bulldogs Academy coach Ben Walsh.
The aim of the program is to improve the opportunities for Hampden players, giving them every opportunity to realise their potential to compete in the elite talent pathways programs such as V-Line Cup, Coates Talent League, VFL and AFL.
The inaugural squad of 35 will comprise of players from across all Hampden FNL clubs.
Program Coordinator Brett Taylor says this is a critical period for physical and skill development for young footballers.
“The program aims to develop skills and knowledge in an environment focusing on refining technical skills, decision making skills and game strategies through ball centred activities and modified games,” he said.
