Youth team history

Perth Glory first entered a youth team in the 2002 Soccer West Coast Premier League as Future Glory.[1] The team coached by Frank Arok finished seventh out of 12 teams in the league.[2] They lost 2–1 to ECU Joondalup in the State Challenge Cup Final. The club withdrew the youth team ahead of the 2003 season, citing the uncertain future of the National Soccer League.[3]

Youth current squad

To be eligible to play in the first team, players must be between the age of 15 and 24. Two overage players are allowed for A-League players who are returning from injury or players trialing with the A-League team.[4] [5] [6]

Under-23s team history

The team was founded in 2008, as a Perth Glory representative team for the inaugural season of the National Youth League competition. On 25 September 2013, it was confirmed that the team would compete in the National Premier Leagues Western Australia competition for the 2014 season onwards.[7]
