Eastern Suburbs Association Football Club (ESAFC) runs a series of coaching programmes throughout the School Holiday Terms. We have a range of exciting programmes running in the following school holidays, from as little as $90.00.

• April Holidays
• July Holidays
• September Holidays

The holiday Programme incorporates age specific games and exercises, focused on small sided games and skill challenges.
Each day will highlight a specific skill category e.g., dribbling, shooting, passing or receiving.
All sessions will emphasise individual development as well as teamwork, in a relaxed and positive environment.

Coaching Staff
ESAFC prides itself on conducting its coaching programmes in a safe, secure and coach/player friendly environment. Coaches will strive to ensure every player enjoys their football fun experience, keeping in mind that all players will participate in the premise that they will respect others’ efforts and right to a fun filled week.

Football Firebirds (ages 5 – 7)

This football fun age group, will focus on maximum individual ball contact to improve confidence and enjoyment of the game. Rather than drills, this group will be coached through themed games and skill challenges. E.g. end-zone football, football tag games such as shark attack and traffic lights.

Football Fanatics (Ages 8-10):

This group will include skill development through fun games and matches. We will concentrate on individual development along with placing importance on team spirit.

Football Maestros (Ages 11-12):

The Maestros will once more be engaged in football fun activities, but in turn adding more match scenarios such as 1v1, 3v3, 6v6, counterattacking, as well as both defending and attacking drills.

Bad Weather Policy
In the event of Bad Weather a full indoor fun and games programme will be run.
