The right programme depends on your child's age, current ability, experience and long-term goals.Our coaching team assesses every player to ensure they're placed in the environment where they'll develop best. We don't simply place players by age, we consider whether the programme is the right challenge for their current stage of development.Our pathways include:PLAY (2–4 years): Introduction to movement, coordination and a love of the game.Minis (5–7 years): Building strong technical foundations in a fun, structured environment.Academy (8–14 years): Our core development programme for committed players seeking high-quality coaching and long-term improvement.High Performance Programme (HPP- U15-U23): An invitation-only programme for players demonstrating the commitment, attitude and ability to thrive in a more demanding environment.If you're unsure which programme is most suitable, simply book a trial or get in touch with our team. We'll recommend the pathway that best supports your child's development, both now and in the future.

It depends on the programme.PLAY (2–4 years) and Minis (5–7 years) do not require an assessment. Players can enrol directly into these programmes, and we offer a free introductory session so your child can experience the environment before committing. It's a great opportunity to meet our coaches, take part in a session, and see if EVO is the right fit for your family.Academy players (8+ years) are required to attend a trial session before enrolling. This allows our coaching team to assess each player's current level, understand their development needs, and recommend the most appropriate programme and training group.The trial isn't about selecting only the "best" players, it's about ensuring every player is placed in an environment where they can develop most effectively.Following the assessment, our team will provide one of the following outcomes:An offer into the most suitable Academy programme.A recommendation for an alternative EVO pathway better suited to the player's current stage of development.Guidance on the next steps before joining in the future.This process helps ensure every player enters an environment where they can be challenged, supported and continue to improve.

EVO groups players by their year of birth, in line with Football Australia and the broader Australian football system.When selecting a programme, simply choose the age group that corresponds with your child's birth year, rather than their current age. For example, a player may still be nine years old but belong in an Under 10 age group, depending on their year of birth.If you're unsure which age group your child belongs in, don't worry, our team will be happy to help before you book a trial or enrol.

Yes.We work with players of all abilities, from those just starting their football journey through to advanced players pursuing elite pathways.For players aged 8+, our Academy includes a Development Programme, designed specifically for players who are newer to the game or still building their technical foundations. These players train in an environment that matches their current stage of development, allowing them to build confidence and improve at an appropriate pace.As players develop, they may be invited to progress into our Affiliate, Academy or High Performance pathways when they're ready.Our goal isn't simply to place players into the highest group, it's to place them in the right environment for long-term development. That's why all Academy players complete a trial, allowing our coaching team to recommend the pathway where they'll learn, enjoy their football, and continue to improve.

Every EVO programme is designed to support player development, but each serves a different purpose.The Development pathway is ideal for players early in the football journey who need to build confidence, technical ability and game understanding in a structured environment.As players improve, they may be invited into Affiliate, Academy or High Performance pathways, depending on their development, commitment and readiness.Our goal is not to move players through the pathways as quickly as possible, but to place them where they are most likely to develop.

A Train-On offer is not a reflection of a player's potential or ability.Train-On players train within the Academy environment and receive the same coaching, curriculum and development opportunities as Academy players. Depending on the programme and player progression, Train-On players may also be invited to participate in Academy fixtures.A Train-On recommendation is typically made when our coaching team believes a player will benefit from spending more time in the EVO environment before committing to the Affiliate programme.Many players begin as Train-On or Development players before progressing into the Affiliate pathways as they continue to develop. Some players also opt to do Train-On to continue with their grassroots club, and can't attend EVO more than once per week.

Yes.Most EVO players continue playing and training with their local club while attending our programmes. EVO is designed to complement club football, while also providing a full-time pathway for players seeking a more comprehensive development environment.

Our Academy is a 30-week program made up of selected committed players from around Perth. The Academy runs in alignment with school terms 1, 2 & 3. In term 4 our Academy players progress into our immensely popular Off-Season: Evolution Premier League (EPL). We have been operating since 2018 but commenced our Academy in 2022 and we are becoming stronger each year. The Academy is made up of three player categories:Academy Affiliate Player (Minimum commitment of 2 sessions per week)Academy Train-On (Minimum commitment of 1 session per week)Academy Development (Minimum commitment of 1 session per week) * Learn more on these categories at the FAQ section: What is the difference between Academy: Players, Train-On & DevelopmentAll players in the EVO Academy can train anywhere with us up to 4 times per week from ages 8 - 16. Players have the option to take part in pitch and gym sessions available also. Players who are selected as Academy Affiliate Players play games every 3 weeks on a Friday night either against each other through an intra-academy format or against other clubs. Our Academy players compete in many matches across the year. In 2022 our Academy players played 36 matches totalling 2,070 minutes. Already, we have built on these number dramatically and most recently our players took part in 96 matches equalling 3,440 minutes played. As of 2023 our players travel internationally / domestically each year! We trial once per year for our Academy squads selections, with the trials for external players being held in the months of November / December. We allow players to still trial throughout the year for Academy train-on positions. We aim to develop and promote from with in our train-on / development players prior to bringing external players in to our Academy squads however, we are always watching football and looking for players who will fit in to our squads and the evident style of our play. You can express your interest anytime here however, please note each of our initial intake for squad selections is conducted in August-November for the following year.

So to support players in all realms of development we offer three tiers: Academy Affiliate: are players who are selected to be in our Academy squads. They play games with us every 3 weeks, train at a minimum twice per week and have priority to be given first pick to tours & tournaments (international / domestic). All Academy Players are given automatic places to our off-season: Evolution Premier League Academy Train-On: are players who are assessed to be competent to advanced in their development who either just missed out on our squad selections due to limited and competitive places available or have joined us later in the year once academy squads have been determined. Train-On players still train with Academy players and can be considered for promotion into squads as well as tours & tournaments.Academy Development: are players who are assessed to be at a lesser stage in their development who demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and improve. Academy development players do train at the same times as per academy players/train-on. However, they train with other Academy development players to best support their current developmental requirements.Express your Academy interest here

Our classes are designed to engage players of all ages and challenge them in a high quality, highly focused environment.

Our camps are based in the school holidays bridging the gap between each of our Terms. Our camps exist for players aged 4 - 16, Male and Female! They are challenging but enjoyable days involving technical work and game play. It also serves as a great way to get to know our coaches and commence your work with FET as its not a huge initial commitment and allows our coaches to assess new players inside a new environment. Keep and eye on our camps tab for the next camp.

Cash payments may also be accepted by prior arrangement.To secure your place, payment or commitment to an approved payment plan must be completed before the enrolment deadline. As places are limited and many programmes reach capacity, we cannot hold positions or allow players to participate until enrolment has been finalised.If a player does not attend their first session and we have not received payment or prior communication, their place may be offered to another player on the waiting list.This ensures we can provide fair access to families and maintain efficient programme planning.

We do not accept Active kids vouchers.
