How it works, start to finish

Here is what you're actually investing in.

Swipe to see what's included

What you're paying for.

$499 for boys. $299 for girls. Two assessment sessions in front of coaches from Spanish football clubs Real Murcia and CD Numancia.

What your child takes home.

Honest feedback on where they stand and a plan to improve. Match footage (VEO) of both sessions for their highlights, professional photos from the day, and an EFA kit (jersey, shorts and grip socks). *Evaluation seen is apart of a bundle*

What happens afterwards?

Every player gets a call from an EFA agent. Honest feedback on their strengths, the areas to improve, and where they stand against the European standard. Everyone leaves knowing what to work on.

What these two days are

An assessment. Your child is watched by the coaches and EFA agents for both sessions. The point is to find out where they stand and what to work on next.

Hear from families who've been in your shoes.

  • Melissa

    We thought his talent was going to be wasted.

    — Melissa, mother of Diego, 16

    “He now feels he can back himself. He knows he can make it as a footballer.”

  • Tony

    You’re not just a number. Everyone makes time to talk to everybody. The players feel that as well.

    — Tony, father of Keegan, 16

    “We invested a lot of money into academy trials and tours overseas, and all of it was basically a scam. We were worried this was just another one. Everything from day one has been totally upfront, totally honest, brutal at times.”

  • Paul

    MY SON WASN'T GETTING A CHANCE.

    — Paul, father of Lewis, 14

    “He can see the pathway to a career. He could never see that before EFA.”

  • Gordon

    What we got was far more than we realised we were going to get.

    — Gordon, Father of Alexander, 14

    “The engagement at every level, from the day we signed up to now, is hands down more than any club we’ve been with or any other trial we’ve done in Australia. That’s why we’re staying.”

4.4/5 from 91 families surveyed after the January and July 2026 trials.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my kid actually be seen?

Yes. 40 players per age group*, two sessions, every player scored by name and filmed. The coaches are on the pitch for the whole session. Nobody is there to make up numbers for someone else's trial.

My kid's not a rep superstar. Is this for them?

Your kid is exactly who it's for. Some of the best players we've seen were the ones overlooked in NPL and state leagues. Quiet kids have shown up nervous and walked away with trial offers at Real Oviedo, CD Leganés and RC Celta. They don't need to be a prodigy. They need a moment to prove themselves in front of people who can act on it.

What happens after the trial?

After the trial, an agent will talk you through your child's score, the coaches' feedback and what to work on next. You'll also receive the trial footage and photos.

If a suitable opportunity comes up, the agent will explain what's involved so you can decide what makes sense for your family.

We’re 19+. Is this still for us?

Yes. The boys' 20–23 bracket is for senior players, while 19-year-olds join the 17–19 group. Our Australian partner clubs are looking for senior players too, so the trials can help identify suitable opportunities here in Australia.

Do we need to be there all three days?

No. Each player has two two-hour sessions on two days, plus the optional Info Night the evening before. Use the session finder above to see which two.

We're regional or interstate. Which days, and where do we stay?

The session finder shows your two trial days. Melbourne is at The Home of The Matildas, Bundoora; Sydney is at Club Marconi Stadium, Bossley Park. Perth's venue is TBC. Check your session days before booking travel or accommodation. If the dates don't work for your travel, call Matt before you book.

Will girls play with boys?

No. The girls' sessions are girls only, 40 places across ages 13 to 23*.

Goalkeepers?

Melbourne has a goalkeeper-only development session, Monday 1 Mar, 3:15–4:15pm. In Sydney, goalkeepers join the development session on Thursday 4 Mar, 2–3pm. Goalkeepers also attend their age-group sessions.

What if we can't attend, or my child is injured?
