The "Crows Development Squad" could be made up of players from other SANFL teams as well as those from the top division of amateur league clubs.
In a statement released on Thursday afternoon, the club said any father/son qualified players would also be able to join the squad.
The Crows’ APY Lands indigenous program could also supply players.
Adelaide's move comes on the back of Port Adelaide's proposed junior development pathways as part of its installation of a dedicated SANFL reserves team.
Although all non-selected AFL-listed Power players will play for the Port Adelaide Magpies from next season, from 2015 the club's current junior structure will be replaced by several development academies.
The academies are seen by Port to keep its community links intact and CEO Keith Thomas said his Adelaide counterpart, Steven Trigg, "raised his eyebrows" when told of the plan.
Crows football manager Phil Harper said Adelaide's plan would also ensure its community links remained strong.
“We see this concept as further enhancing our club’s mantra as ‘the team for all South Australians’, by giving as many opportunities as possible to as many clubs as possible to help us form our inaugural state league team in 2014," Harper said.
“We believe that the program set by our development coaches will enhance the prospects of these young players getting drafted into the AFL system, as well as help them improve their football skills and enhance their ability to perform for their local team.
“It will be a great opportunity for these players.
“And when these players are not playing for the Crows’ state league team, they still have a home to go to at their local club each week, in a similar concept to the successful Geelong model in the VFL.”
