HOW MCA WORKS
Choose your location. Establish your starting point.
The right pathway starts with selecting a location and establishing an honest benchmark. MCA then assesses the player and recommends the Foundation, Intermediate or Elite stage that provides the right level of challenge.

Assessment. Benchmark. Placement. Progression.
MCA assesses and benchmarks each player, recommends a starting stage and uses review evidence to show progress over time. The final rubric for Foundation, Intermediate and Elite placement is still being confirmed; stages do not indicate representative selection or guarantee progression or other outcomes.
HOW PLACEMENT WORKS
From enquiry to development plan.
Six steps from first contact through ongoing review.
1. Choose Location
Choose the training location and locally available Academy format or intake.
2. Assess
Assess the player to understand their current development and training needs.
3. Benchmark
Benchmark the player's current strengths and priority development areas.
4. Recommend
Recommend a Foundation, Intermediate or Elite starting stage based on readiness, not age alone.
5. Develop
Develop through purposeful coaching and an individual development plan.
6. Review
Review development regularly and consider stage changes based on assessment, rather than an automatic timeline.
