National Football Academy
Most of the Courts Young Lions players come from the NFA (National Football Academy) and new players (from the NFA) will be promoted to the Courts Young Lions squad every season.
The National Football Academy enters both the Singapore NFA U-17 and Singapore NFA U-18 teams into the Prime League to allow their players to gain more exposure and match experience by playing against older and more established players.
