The Foundation Squad U6-U8 program is designed to improve players’ foundation phase skills and develop their love for football. It offers a pathway to the Manly United/MWFA JDL (Junior Development League) program.
With over 50% of our U9 JDL players being part of our Foundation Squads, this program offers a pathway for young talented footballers from within the MWFA region to begin their footballing journey. You must be registered with one (1) of the sixteen (16) Clubs in the Manly Warringah Football Association
The program runs from early February until September. Players train two nights a week with Manly United FC.
Foundation Squad players still train and play games with their local grassroots club in the MWFA competition. Please note that Foundation Squad players are not registered with Manly United.
