Soccer Camps Canterbury, Melbourne

Parents are welcome to stay and watch. However, there is no need to stay as all children will be supervised by camp staff for the duration of the program.

Yes, all required ASC staff have a current Working with Children Check.

Our camps and programs are not generally suitable for children with significant physical or intellectual disabilities. Although our Chief of Staff and Coaching Director’s are traditionally school teachers or local head coaches who have the neccesary training, we’re not able to provide the one-to-one care that some children with disabilities may need. Nevertheless, we understand that every circumstance is different and we welcome a call about your child’s individual needs.

We welcome participants from all backgrounds and parts of the world. We value diversity and do not tolerate any discriminatory practices.

We also seek appropriate staff from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Please see an example of how an ASC camp day is structured:

Sample day session:

• 9:00 — Structured Warm-up
• 9:10 — Defensive Skills Session
• 10:00 — Drinks Break
• 10:10 – Midfield skills session

No, you may only use one offer per booking, whichever is greater. So, offers cannot be used in conjunction with one another e.g. a Group Offer with a Club Offer code. Also, Group offers are not applicable during Early Bird Periods.

We cannot take one day bookings for ASC camps, as it's too disruptive to the program and to the other participants.

However, if your child has a pre existing commitment, we can arrange a two day booking. Pricing during Early Bird and Flash Sales is $200, and $223 at all other times. Please call the office on 1300 914 368 or email admin@australiansportscamps.com.au for further information.

Also, check out our Partner Program (e.g. Community Sports Camps), as several Partner Program's offer one and two-day options.

Yes, parents should not prepare lunches that contain any nuts or nut products. ASC has a nut free policy for participants at all camps and programs. Please view our ASC Child Safety & Risk Management Anaphylaxis Policy here.

Afterpay is available during checkout for those who wish to pay in installments.

Coaching and care from 9am to 3pm each day. Drop-off, from 8.45am daily.

Comfortable sports clothing and footwear is appropriate at all our programs. Cricket whites do not need to be worn at cricket camps. Also, specific programs may require footwear such as football boots, which will be communicated via the confirmation email sent after your booking.

Please see our Camp Pricing here for an overview of the offers available to families, and school and club groups. In addition, current offers will be displayed on our website.

Lunch involves a short break to eat, then talks and activities — all supervised by camp staff.

'Camp Credits' never expire and are fully transferable between sports, family and friends.
