Essendon Football Club Academy 2026

After a successful first year, our Essendon Football Club Academy is firing on all cylinders in 2026. Our Year 11s and 12s have been out on the track over the past few weeks, and today the Year 11s had a visit from Bombers legend Dustin Fletcher!

Dustin is working with our students on all facets of the game, and today conducted a deep dive into kicking and different types of kicks. It has been fabulous for the Academy members to get access to an AFL legend with 400 games of experience.

We were also glad to further develop our partnership with Essendon when last week we were invited to the Hangar for their fantastic Family Day, which included games, prizes, and kick-to-kick on the pristine training ground. 

It was a great day out meeting new families and old collegians alike, and mingling with current and past Bombers players like old collegian Simon Madden.

Thank you to the Essendon Football Club, we can't wait to continue our successful partnership and help our EFCA students reach their full sporting potential.
