The academy was established by Football West in conjunction with FFA and the WA Department of Sport and Recreation in 2006 to operate as an establishment where young players could be assisted to prepare for the game at the highest level.[1]
The boys' team played in the Football West State League in 2012 and 2013, however did not play for points. They also participated in the FFA State Institute Challenge.[2]
The boys' program was replaced by the Perth Glory NPL program in 2014.[3]
