Cats Academy Emerging Talent and Development Squads
The Geelong Cats are excited to announce the 2025 Cats Academy Emerging Talent and Development Squads, who will take part in a September training program and matches against both an AFL Barwon Invitational Team and the Western Bulldogs Academy.
Each squad has been selected following a successful AFL Barwon season, with players earning their place through strong performances and commitment to their development.
Importantly, all other eligible players in the Cats NGA zone will have an opportunity to display their skills in a separate October program, gaining access to the same high-performance environment. This includes players eligible for the U13 Emerging Talent Squad, who will have their opportunity to participate in October.
If a player or family has any questions, please contact Geelong Cats Academy & Pathways Manager Chris Lynch
For more information on eligibility for the programs, see the Cats Academy website: https://www.geelongcats.com.au/teams/academy/
