Is This Right For Us?

Who Are Holiday Clinics For?

Three types of players come to our holiday clinics. All three leave better than they arrived.

Out of the House

Off the Screens

It's the holidays and they need to move. Get them outside, active and around other kids who love football. Three hours every morning — they come home tired, happy, and already asking when the next clinic is.

No Commitment Needed

Trying Football

They're curious about football but you're not ready to sign up for a full program. A holiday clinic is the perfect way to try it — one morning, no pressure, no ongoing commitment. Most kids are hooked by lunch.

A Real Development Hit

Advanced Player

Your child already plays football and wants a serious three-hour development session during the break. Small groups, real technical focus, individual feedback. This is the best football they'll get all holidays.

What's Included

Three hours that actually
mean something.

01PROPER TECHNICAL WORK

Ball mastery, passing, finishing, 1v1s — every clinic has a technical theme so your child leaves with a specific skill they can feel and keep building on.

02MAX 12 PLAYERS PER COACH

We cap every group at 12. Your child gets actual coaching attention — not just cones and a whistle. Real feedback, every session.

03MATCHES EVERY DAY

Skills only stick when players use them in real games. We build match play into every clinic morning so lessons land under pressure.

04GROUPED BY AGE & ABILITY

Brand new to football or already playing club — your child trains at the right level, challenged without being overwhelmed.

05INDIVIDUAL PLAYER FOCUS

Coaches don't just manage the group. They coach each player. Your child gets feedback specific to their game — not generic drills.

06A TASTE OF THE ACADEMY

Clinics run to the same standard as our year-round programs. Most families who come to a clinic end up joining permanently.

PROPER TECHNICAL WORK

Ball mastery, passing, finishing, 1v1s — every clinic has a technical theme so your child leaves with a specific skill they can feel and keep building on.

Kyle is an amazing coach. He works well with kids and engages them with great enthusiasm. A passionate coach who gives his all.

Kylie & Troy Bielak1 review

Our son loves learning from Kyle and his soccer skills and game awareness has improved immensely since starting at Mastery about a year ago. We feel the program is affordable and excellent value for money. The opportunities are endless — we competed in a National League in Sydney earlier this year and can't wait for more!

My son's been attending the academy for just over a month now and has gained so much from it. He often says he'd rather train with the academy than his club soccer training. The coaches' attention to detail with the kids and drive to push them really shows through in his development. Highly recommend to any parent wanting to push their kid's skills a little more!

The holiday camp at Mastery Football Academy was great on so many levels. My daughter said she thought it was going to be easy and fun, but it was hard and fun! The coaches were very encouraging and the drills were well thought out. Would recommend!

The development I have seen since my son joined is remarkable. It's his 3rd year playing with a club, but after 6 months not only have his skills increased but his awareness and confidence too, and this has been noticed as it's transferred into his team as well.

The holiday clinic, outdoor and indoor soccer sessions during school term are fantastic experiences for kids. Our boy loves it and enjoys coming back every time. Kyle and the coaches are experienced not just in soccer but in leading young players to focus, learn and enjoy the sport. Totally worth it!

I highly recommend Mastery Football Academy. My son loves being coached by Kyle and his team, they are all great coaches. My son has enjoyed learning new skills and making new friends during training and game days — he looks forward to training each week.

Very fast and effective help when you need it, the app is very user friendly and easy to use. And the atmosphere is just amazing — and it's only a two minute walk to training.

Heidi Wright4 reviews

We're brand new to training, and our son wanted an activity to boost his confidence without the commitment of weekly soccer matches. Kyle and the team have been incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and quick to respond to our questions. George absolutely loved his first session and couldn't wait to return! Highly recommend.

We have two boys that have been players at this academy for a number of years, and throughout that time they have always wanted to be involved in everything — holiday, training, elite and overseas programs that Mastery offers. We've seen significant growth in them, both in the game itself and personally. Thank you Coach Kyle and the team!

I had a fantastic time at the Mastery Football Academy clinic during the school holidays. The coaches were brilliant at developing our skills using one-on-one drills and competitive matches. This made it really fun, and I enjoyed playing with the other kids too. My dribbling, passing and shooting have all improved a lot!

Tyler absolutely loves going to soccer. It's been hard to find something he sticks with, but every Friday he cannot wait to go — forcing me to drop him off early! It's great to receive feedback via the app so Tyler knows what he's done well and what to improve on. I love that we can swap lessons up to an hour before too.

My son has only been at the academy for 2 terms and the improvement and confidence he has gained from just attending Monday nights has been the best thing for him. I highly recommend — the coaches are great at teaching them the skills, footwork and drills to help them improve their soccer.

Coaches are outstanding, and follow a good system of player development. Both my sons participate in Mastery football academy and the attention and coaching advice they're given are on point every time. I'm also a qualified coach and find benefit observing the sessions. They encourage playing with both feet. Highly recommended.

Our son loves Kyle and his team at Soccer Mastery. The Mt Barker facilities are top notch, and our son has since joined Kyle's Elite city team and loves it.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

See what a clinic morning looks like, then find the answers to everything below.

How much does it cost?

Simple, pay-as-you-go pricing. You only pay for the days you choose.

Can my child come for just one day, or do they have to do the whole week?

Yes, one day is completely fine. There's no minimum.

  • Choose one day, several days, or the full week
  • Each morning is a complete session on its own
  • Lots of families start with one day, then add more once their child is hooked
What time do clinics run?
  • 9:00am to 12:00pm, every morning of the clinic
  • Three hours of coaching, finished before lunch
  • Please arrive about 10 minutes early on the first day to check in
What ages are the clinics for?
  • Open to ages 5 to 16
  • Players are grouped by age and ability
  • From complete beginners to kids already playing club football
Does my child need to be experienced?

Not at all. Every level is welcome.

  • Complete beginners are welcome and well looked after
  • Coaches group players by level, so no one is overwhelmed or bored
  • Already playing club? They'll be challenged at the right level too
Who are the coaches?
  • Our own Mastery academy coaches, the same ones who run our weekly programs

  • Capped at 12 players per coach for real, individual attention

What happens if the weather is bad?
  • Clinics run in most conditions, including light rain
  • In extreme weather, any cancellation is posted in our WhatsApp group
  • Join the group so you always get the latest update before you leave home
Can I drop my child off, or do I need to stay?

You're welcome to drop off or to stay and watch, and most parents drop off. Please understand that Mastery runs football clinics, not a registered childcare or daycare service, so we don't operate a formal sign-in and sign-out system. Our coaches actively supervise the players throughout the session, but collecting your child at the end is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

  • Arrive on time for the 12:00pm finish
  • Agree a clear pick-up plan and make sure your child knows who is collecting them
  • By enrolling, you confirm your child may leave at the end with the adult you've arranged
  • If there's a custody arrangement, or anyone who should not collect your child, tell us in writing before the clinic

If your child is young or you'd simply feel more comfortable staying, you're always welcome to.
