This school holidays, we are excited to offer a unique series of Specialist Football Camps featuring some of our very own players who began their football journey at The Football Factory and have gone on to achieve success at national and international levels.
From 6th–8th July, Adelaide Wyrzynski will be coaching across our mixed Holiday Clinics. Adelaide is a former Junior Matilda, has represented the Philippines National Team and currently plays collegiate football in the United States. This is a fantastic opportunity for both boys and girls to learn from a player who has progressed through the pathway from grassroots football to the international stage.
On 9th and 10th July, we will be running our Specialist Girls Football groups featuring Adelaide alongside Catalina from Western Warriors and Lily Taylor, who has recently been selected in the New Zealand U20 National Team squad. These girls-only sessions are designed to inspire the next generation of female footballers while providing high-quality coaching in a fun, supportive and engaging environment. Boys are also welcome on these days and will train in separate groups with our experienced Argentine and Spanish coaches, ensuring all players receive specialised coaching suited to their age and ability.
Families can choose between a half-day coaching clinic from 9:00am–12:00pm or a full day from 9:00am–3:00pm, which includes an afternoon packed with a mini world cup.
Each morning coaching clinic focuses on skill and technique development, with a daily football focus designed to improve ball mastery and game understanding. Players will learn a range of tricks, skills and techniques including the Zidane Turn, Socrates, Rabona, Maradona Spin, Cruyff Cut, Ronaldo Chop and Oxford. Our aim is to help players become more creative, confident and expressive footballers while developing the technical skills needed to succeed in matches.
All sessions will be held outdoors in Frenchs Forest, with an indoor venue available in the event of wet weather. Our clinics are delivered by professionally qualified coaches, and numbers are deliberately limited to ensure every child receives individual attention and plenty of opportunities to practice and develop.
Our Holiday Coaching Sessions are suitable for boys and girls aged 5–14 years. We strongly recommend attending multiple days to maximise skill development, confidence and enjoyment. Whether your child is new to football or already playing competitively, these clinics provide an outstanding opportunity to learn from experienced coaches and players who have reached the highest levels of the game.
Places are limited and we expect strong demand for these special holiday camps.
Children will be separated into age groups or ability and don’t fret, just ask and we will group children with their friends!

HOLIDAY CLINICS TERMS & POLICIES
All attendees of Holiday Clinic sessions must ensure they take care of their health. The following is a list of requirements we have:
- Drink: All students must bring their own water bottle with them with ample water capacity
- Food: All students must bring their own morning tea & lunch
- Sun protection: Students should arrive with sufficient sun protection (i.e. sunscreen minimum) for outdoor Holiday Clinics
The Football Factory does not offer make-ups for holiday clinics if you are unable to attend your scheduled session. If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances that would prevent you from attending your scheduled session, please notify us well in advance and we will discuss if we are able to make accommodations for you.
If a holiday clinic session is cancelled due to extenuating circumstances beyond our control, we will attempt to offer alternative methods of delivery of the session, potentially with different dates, locations, or formats than originally planned. A holiday clinic session is considered to have been delivered and missed by you in the event whereby we have offered alternatives and you have failed to attend where it was reasonable for you to do so. In the unlikely event we are unable to offer alternative methods of delivery of a session, we will provide you with a credit voucher proportionately equivalent to the value of the cancelled holiday clinic session. This credit voucher can be used toward any of our programs or any of the products in our sports store. The credit voucher must be used within 6 months of the original holiday clinic session that was cancelled.
Once Holiday Clinics have been paid for, they are non-transferable and non-refundable. If you have received any credit towards Holiday Clinics for any reason they must be redeemed within the time-frame specified on them, or by 6 months from the date credit was applied, whichever period comes first. Any credit redeemed towards a Holiday Clinic for a specific session will be forfeit irrespective of whether the session was attended. All Holiday Clinics must be paid in full before attendance.
