Youth team history

Perth Glory first entered a youth team in the 2002 Soccer West Coast Premier League as Future Glory. The team coached by Frank Arok finished seventh out of 12 teams in the league. 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.

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.
