Currently, players who finish the NTC will either go to the W-League or head back into the NPL system which doesn't give the same level of training they received while in the NTC.

Young players will be pushed to reach their full potential and grow in a fully professional environment.

This integration starts with Matildas assistant coaches Gary van Egmond and Leah Blayney who will be heading up the program in Sydney with Mini Matildas coach, Rae Dower playing a major role with her talent identification of players in underpinning Programs and the 17’s National team.

While Dower will not be part of the daily training, the decision of having van Egmond and Blayney as coaches came down to having integration and connection between the Future Matildas and Matildas teams. 

"We've got vertical integration which is exactly what we wanted. So they will share a lot of the same thoughts, philosophies and playing styles and obviously they are aware of what is required at international level," Stajcic said.

"They are familiar with what is going on and what it takes to be a good player, and the skill sets we need to help our young players to be able to be competitive," he said. 

The coaches will continue to further this integration as van Egmond and Blayney coach sessions at schools which would be held during their regular physical education or football classes.

The program has close links with Westfield Sports High School and Pymble Ladies College, where the players attend school, and will ensure they avoid duplication of training but also ensuring the program does not take priority over school work.

On top of this, players will have access to support networks which can see them helped with anything else they need.

"In terms of catering for their welfare and their life balance, they are more than adequately catered for but it is hard, I think it is hard for every elite athlete in any sport," Stajcic said.

"So there is a balance between sport, school work and recreation time but certainly the way we've structured it, there is a good balance and a great support network of Sports Psychologists, Careers Advisors and Mentors on top of the daily support and care from coaches," he said.

The program also sees a match each week with current Matildas invited in to play both with against players in the Program.

Being able to play and train alongside or against players like Chloe Logazro, Michelle Heyman, Caitlin Cooper, Eliza Campbell and Casey Dumont will introduce the Future Matildas to the playing environment of the senior national team while also giving them a relationship with these players so if and when they are selected in the team they already know the team, environment and the culture.

Not only this but it also gives the injured players like Amy Harrison and Caitlin Foord a place to rehab.

"There is an extra environment for all our Matildas to have a daily training environment if they don't go overseas and the benefit is massive but then the benefit to these kids to be growing up with these players and learning from these players, is something that other countries probably can't replicate," Stajcic said.

The training these players receive needs to challenge them as footballers if they want to grow, otherwise, they can stagnate. While this isn't always the case, Stajcic has seen first hand how some of the brightest young talents in Australia have not progressed the way he thought they would but the Future Matildas Program will aim to alleviate this.

"The level they've gone up in two to three months already is amazing. In time, I am sure we will all see the benefits both on and off the field for the development and education that these young players are getting," Stajcic said. 

The program which only started a month ago is expected to grow and could in the coming years see the Young Matildas make a U20's World Cup for the first time since 2006.
