The clinics are hosted at various locations throughout Western Sydney and regional NSW.

Wanderers school holiday clinics are open to boys and girls ages 5-12 years old. Players can be both experienced or new to football, and we offer different types of sessions such as goalkeepers, girls only, 13s-17s and advanced.

Participants will become a WanderKid, granting them access to all A-League Men and Women games for the 2024/25 season.

They'll also be able to purchase a uniform, have loads of fun, make new friends, and improve their football skills.

Wanderers school holiday clinics are priced at $160.00 for a 9AM-3PM session, plus the option of purchasing uniform.

Essentials include shin pads, boots (if available), a light snack, a water bottle, and a hat.

For Camps, a packed lunch is also recommended.

Parents are welcome to watch the activities; however, we ask that you let our professional coaches lead the sessions.
