Trainstop Club
The Trainstop Club is an exclusive, invite-only training program designed to prepare players for the Talent League, State League, and ultimately the AFL and AFLW. The program is run by Talent League and AFL staff (coaches, recruiters, and strength and conditioning experts), and we operate exactly like an AFL and AFLW club does during pre-season.
The overarching goal of our program is to help players reach their aspirations. We are selective because we want to work with ambitious players who are ready to put in the effort to achieve their goals. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of athletes progress to the AFL, VFL, Talent League, and Interleague, and we believe if you have the right combination of ambition and ability you can asbolutely achieve your goals.
