Elevate is an intermediate level football program, designed for young footballers ready to take the next step in their development.

 

Players must be registered at club level in the U12 competition for the 2026 season, to register for this program.

 

This immersive six-hour academy experience provides behind-the-scenes access to what it takes to train and prepare like an professional athlete. Developed and delivered by AFL coaches and high-performance staff, Elevate introduces players to the key physical, technical and mental components of elite football development.

 

Participants will undergo a series of AFL-aligned sessions including:

• Skill development and training

• Strength and conditioning

• Sports performance data and technology

• Nutrition for athletes

• Mindfulness and recovery

• Leadership and professional habits

• Professional insights from an Adelaide Crows AFL player

 

Using the same facilities, resources and environments accessed by Adelaide Crows AFL and AFLW players, participants gain practical skills, knowledge and routines they can apply in their own football journey. Elevate is ideal for motivated young players seeking exposure to an AFL development pathway and professional training standards.
