Footy training across Tasmania
Tasmania has its own AFL club on the way, and with it a full pathway from under-13 to the VFL for the first time. The players who take those spots will be the ones who have trained properly for it.

Tasmanian footy runs through three regions — the South, the North and the North-West — each with its own premier league: the Southern Football League, the Northern Tasmanian Football Association and the North West Football League. The talent pathway runs from junior academies (13–15) through the Tasmania Devils in the Talent League (17–19) to Tasmania’s VFL side, which entered in 2026 ahead of the club’s AFL debut in 2028.
The Tasmanian State League disbanded after the 2024 season.

What you start with, by the month you join
Every block is four weeks — three building, one deload — so a free month is one complete block.
Coaching a side in Tasmania?
A club licence is A$8 per player, per month (minimum 5), and every player on it gets full Train Smart membership at no cost to them. You write the block once, it lands in each player’s app, and the console shows who actually did it.
