AFL development for boys and girls aged 11–15 who want more from their footy.
Blueprint is a six-week Aussie Rules academy built around specialised coaching and one-on-one feedback. We focus on decision-making, match impact and preparing players for representative and higher-level football.
// The Programs
Different programs through the year. Next intake: October.
Blueprint is built for players who want more out of their footy and a strong development pathway. We run multiple programs across the year — our next intake is a six-week academy starting October with capped numbers, specialist coaching, and a one-off Q&A with West Coast Eagles forward Jake Waterman. Sessions run weekday afternoons and evenings.
// What's included
6 × 90-min sessions
One session a week. Real coaching, real reps — no standing in line.
Mid-program report
Written individual feedback after week 2 so players know exactly what to work on.
Final report
Full written review after session 6 — strengths, focus areas, and next steps.
Agility & speed testing
Timing gates and agility testing so improvement is measured, not guessed.
October intake: Jake Waterman
Exclusive to this intake — West Coast Eagles forward Jake Waterman drops in for one session for a Q&A with the players.

// The Method
A blueprint, not a session plan.
Most clinics run the same drill for every kid in line. We don't. Every Blueprint player gets a development arc — and their parents get to see it.
Assess
Every player starts with a baseline session. We profile skill, athletic ability, and footy IQ — not vibes.
Plan
Each kid gets a personal six-week development plan tied to their position, age and current level.
Coach
Small-group sessions with specialist coaches. High reps, real feedback, no standing around.
Feedback
Written individual feedback after the program — strengths, focus areas, and next steps for their club coach.
// Coaching
Specialists. Not weekend volunteers.
Our coaches bring genuine WAFL playing experience, paired with a current WAFL Talent ID and scouting specialist — the same eye that assesses state-level prospects. It's elite-level insight applied directly to junior development, not a generalist running drills.
// Strength & Conditioning
Athletic foundations, built properly.
Led by a qualified trainer, players are introduced to fundamental strength and endurance training techniques designed to enhance speed, power, agility and durability. The focus is on teaching correct movement patterns and building athletic habits that support football performance and long-term physical development.
// Add-On
Individual Game Reviews.
For players chasing extra feedback, we offer individual game reviews completed by a WAFL Talent ID and scouting staff member — the same eye that watches state-level prospects.
We attend the player's junior game in person — no footage needed — and send back a detailed written review focused on the things that actually move a player forward. Available in-season only — you don't need to be enrolled in a program to book one.
// Focus
Decision-Making
Disposal choice, scan habits, reading the contest.
// Focus
Positioning
Structure, spacing, defensive accountability, work rate.
// Focus
Match Impact
Influence on contests, scoreboard moments, momentum.
// FAQ
The questions parents actually ask.
Boys and girls aged 11–15 who want more out of their footy and a strong development pathway — from kids who just love the game to players already in rep or higher-level junior football.
