With the school holidays fast approaching, Melbourne City FC is gearing up for its much-anticipated City Football Schools Spring Holiday Camps. Whether your child is looking to refine their football skills, boost confidence, or simply have a blast, these camps offer the perfect opportunity. Here’s why they shouldn’t be missed!
1. Accessible Locations Across Victoria
This year, the camps are more accessible than ever, with 11 locations across Victoria, including a new venue in Geelong. Whether you’re in the north, east, south, or west, there’s a camp nearby. Melbourne City FC is making it easier for young footballers to get involved, no matter where they are!
2. Keep Football Momentum Going
Just because the NPL junior season is winding down doesn’t mean the football fun has to stop. Melbourne City FC’s Spring Holiday Camps allow kids to continue their development during the break. Plus, as soon as the holidays are over, Term 4 Weekly Programs are ready to kick off, offering ongoing opportunities for improvement.
3. Elevate Your Game
Passionate about football? The camps are built on the renowned Melbourne City and Manchester City philosophy, providing top-notch coaching from qualified professionals. Players of all levels can develop technical skills, tactical knowledge, and game awareness in a fun and safe environment. The focus on both growth and enjoyment means every child can unlock their potential while making new friends.
4. Pathway to the Academy
Melbourne City FC’s City Football Schools are a proven pathway to success. This year’s U14 Academy squad includes 16 players who began their journey in these camps. In fact, 65% of the Junior Academy in 2024 started in City Football Schools programs. Several of these young talents, such as Jayden Necovski and Lawrence Wong, have gone on to sign senior contracts with Melbourne City. For some, the dream continues as Academy graduates like Jordy Bos and Connor Metcalfe have even played for the Socceroos.
5. Train Like a Pro
For the second time, Melbourne City FC is offering an exclusive three-day immersive camp that gives kids a taste of life as an A-League player. Highlights include daily football training, lunches prepared by the City Head Chef, access to Melbourne City’s training facilities, and behind-the-scenes tours. Workshops in football analysis, strength and conditioning, and media training are just a few extras, culminating in a football tournament that caps off this unforgettable experience.
