Talent Identification – Pathways
At Brookvale FC, we seek opportunities to identify the potential in all our players. Various initiatives combine to identify and support players eager to push their boundaries, refine their skills, and reach new heights. The club’s talent identification program is about identifying and nurturing talent.
Our Talent Identification team communicates with coaches and age group coordinators to identify and quietly assess talent in age groups across the club.
We combine effective communication, subtle evaluation, and a supportive approach to ensure players do not feel uncomfortable. And we recognise that playing in the top tier is not for everyone, regardless of talent. However, it is always nice and empowering to have been noticed!
Top-Tier Trials
Each year, Brookvale FC hosts structured trial sessions for players aspiring to join our Division 1 teams (please see your invitation for the coming season, noting that those who do not wish to trial are encouraged to enjoy their football in a social team that will be graded for an appropriate competition).
Led by our Director of Coaching, the trials are designed to evaluate skill, commitment, and coachability in a welcoming and inclusive setting. Those who make the top-tier teams will be nurtured, kitted out with training gear and match-day apparel, and coached by our best coaches.
The best of the best will be selected from our top-tier teams and invited to FUTURO VELOCE, our elite training program for the highest-performing top-tier players who may be seeking to compete at the next level.
Of course, not everyone will necessarily make the top team, and some may miss out. We will always encourage every player and provide honest, personalised feedback and recommendations on progressing their football journey (for example, specific things to work on at home and in the coming season) and ideas for extended training through programs such as FUTURO.
Brookvale FC’s Talent Identification Program is more than an opportunity—it’s a stepping stone to success, ensuring every player has the support and resources to thrive.
