Our AFL camps in Adelaide see kids train with mentors who are just as focused on developing character as they are on improving handballs. From the moment they step onto the field, children are encouraged to grow – as people, players, and teammates.

What will my child gain from attending an Adelaide AFL camp?
AFL/AFLW holiday camps help kids build essential Aussie Rules skills like kicking, handballing, and marking.
With small group sizes and experienced coaches, each child receives personalised guidance in a fun, supportive setting. Whether your child is new to AFL or already plays regularly, they’ll develop confidence, coordination, and a deeper understanding of the game.
Beyond the field, camps also nurture social and emotional growth. Kids strengthen teamwork, communication, and resilience through structured games and friendly competition. They’ll make new friends, gain independence, and stay active over the holidays—all while having a great time. Our goal is to foster a love for sport that sticks well beyond the final siren.
