Blackburn Academy powered by AFL Max
The AFL Max Blackburn Academy is an exciting 10-week, 90 minute football development program delivered in partnership with Blackburn Football Club.
Designed to help junior players build confidence, improve their footy skills, and develop leadership on and off the field, the Academy focuses on four key areas:
- Mental
- Technical
- Practical
- Physical
Participants train with AFL Max coaches and senior Blackburn players through sessions that blend high-energy drills, teamwork, and resilience-building activities. From goal-kicking accuracy to game awareness and communication, every session is tailored to help young athletes perform at their best in a fun, supportive environment.
The program is split into two five-week blocks, each designed to build key skills in leadership, technical development, tactical awareness, and physical performance.
Participants can sign up for Block 1, Block 2, or complete both for the full 10-week experience. Each block offers fresh focuses and progressive challenges to help players strengthen their skills and confidence week by week.
Open to Blackburn Football Club players only.
