The 5th Annual AFS Championships will take place this year in Morwell from 16th- 18th December 2011.
This gala event is shaping out to be the biggest and most prestigious to date due to the following reasons:

Interstate and International Teams Attending
Teams from New South Wales and New Zealand will be attending the tournament this year.  Ricki Herbert Football Academy from NZ has confirmed 2 teams and International Football Group from NSW has confirmed 3 teams.
More teams and more games
The number teams has already double as compared to last year and with only limited spots available full quotas on all the age groups will be reached shortly. This year the age groups available will be U10, U12, U14 and U16.

Facility will be even better this time

One very fortunate player, will be selected by Premier Football UK and be given the opportunity to travel to the UK and trial with professional academies at either Premier League or Premiership clubs. All costs associated with the trials will be covered for this player, meaning all they have to do is take their boots and their desire to succeed with him/her. We will look after the rest so they can concentrate and focus on training.

Whilst in the UK, the player will be looked after by Premier Football UK and be showcased to the clubs.

The Australian Football Skool U17 Representative Squad flew to Los Angeles for a practice game against the USA Chivas SC Academy team whose senior team competes in the MLS.

They then made their way to Toronto, Canada where they participated in the Canadian Shield International Football Tournament.

In Canada they faced teams from across the world that were exclusively invited, powerhouse club Corinthians from Brazil was the strongest team to attend this year’s tournament beating  Canadian National Champions Ajax in a thrilling 4-2 final in front of a very vocal crowd in Burlington.

The AFS Squad was the first Australian team to attend this tournament and was pitted against teams from Mexico, Puerto Rico and Canada in their pool group.  The team performed extremely well in the tournament but were not able to progress from the group stages, they lost 2 games against Canadian opposition including finalist Ajax and defeated teams from Puerto Rico and Mexico in action packed encounters.

The behaviour and sportsmanship from the aussie boys on and off the pitch was exemplary and the tournament organisers and coaches from other teams were full of praise for the team and can’t wait to see the AFS team in the tournament again in 2012 and beyond.

After spending an action packed week in North America, the squad departed to the United Kingdom and were based in the Northern England.  The boys were put through their paces over a two week period where an intensive training camp consisting of trial games, training sessions and practice matches against illustrious English opposition took place.

The boys had the pleasure of being trained by professional and qualified coaches from academy set-ups from EPL clubs such as Manchester City, Stoke City and Everton FC.  They also competed against academy players from EPL and Championship academies such as Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Stoke City.

During the England Tour the players visited various academies and stadiums and were exposed to the most professional level of junior football that England has to offer.

This zone will cater for players that reside in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne including areas such as Ringwood, Croydon, Mooroolbark, Healesville and surrounding suburbs.

In past years we’ve had great support from these areas and they’ve had to travel a fair distance to attend training at either the Central, Monash or Manningham AFS zones.

AFS East is an area with huge growth and potential, a vast amount of talented players reside in this area, we have seen players like Dan Watson, Ronan Johns and Jarrod Holt who have put in the hard yards and have had the opportunity to travel overseas to countries like USA, Canada, New Caledonia, Spain and England to obtain life changing experiences.

Perry Bircham and Savas Toumanidis will be running the zone and are expecting to have a successful first season.

All players from the area regardless of what club they play for in the winter season be it FFV, VCSA, Bayside League or any other organisation, are welcome to attend trials if they would like to continue playing during summer and have opportunities to further develop and have similar experiences just like Dan, Ronan and Jarrod had.

Trial details are as follows:

• Saturday 24 September @ Dorset Reserve, Croydon Starting at 2:00 pm SHARP for all age groups
• Tuesday 27 September @ Dorset Reserve, Croydon Starting at 5:30 pm SHARP for all age groups
