It was so good! From a parent's point of view, my son came home each day pumped to share everything he'd learnt. With specialist coaches, the program feels professional and purposeful. You're not on a holiday program - you're at a development camp to learn, grow your craft and train alongside like-minded kids at a similar skill level, all while having fun. When I asked if he'd do it next year, his response was: “Absolutely!”

Questions from past students

  • Accommodation is not included as part of the program. The camp runs from 9:30am to 3:00pm each day. However, there are numerous accommodation options available in the Geelong area, approximately 15 minutes from Deakin University Waurn Ponds campus where the camp is held. These include hotels (such as waterfront properties), motels, Airbnb listings, and caravan parks. Alternatively, participants may consider staying in nearby coastal towns such as Torquay, which is approximately 15-20 minutes away from the venue.

  • The camp is designed for players with high aspirations and experience in high-level local or regional competitions. Interstate players also attend.

  • Participants should ideally maintain similar fitness levels to what they had during the competition season. The camp will be physically challenging, so it is important to be well rested in the couple of days prior to the camp to perform at your best.

  • Yes, single-day bookings are available. Day 1 is recommended, as participants meet all the coaches and players and start the program from the beginning. Most participants book the full 3 days, so single-day places may be limited.

  • The camp is open to players aged 14 to 18. It runs over three days, from 9:30am to 3:00pm each day.
