All sessions (unless stated otherwise) will be delivered on synthetic pitches. As such, players should wear the appropriate footwear (boots for artificial/firm ground or turf trainers – no screw-in studs or running shoes). Players will also be required to wear shin pads.
Can we register during the term?
Players are welcome to join during the term. You can contact footballschool@melbournecityfc.com.au to receive a pro-rata term price.
What happens if my child misses a session?
It is important to note that missed sessions cannot be made up at a later date, nor can they be credited or refunded. We prepare each session for the full group, so if your child can’t make it, the session will still go ahead as scheduled.
Who coaches the sessions?
Each coaching session is delivered by qualified Melbourne City Football School coaches.
How are players grouped?
Players will be grouped by age groups. We provide a player pathway to ensure that each child is challenged appropriate to their individual learning requirements.
How does my child get selected for the Squad Program?
Our squad program is an invitation only program. Players are selected from within our City Football School groups and provided with an opportunity to train and play in a challenging and engaging learning environment in order to develop their skills and techniques and further increase their potential.
