Sports Program
Soccer Camp
We focus on ensuring that children have fun, learn new skills, work as a team and keep active – all in a safe and structured environment.
Our popular program provides the opportunity for beginner and intermediate level players to improve their skills, make new friends and stay engaged during school holidays. Our program incorporates both indoor and outdoor sessions.
Children will participate in a wide range of sports and activities, utilising the world-class facilities of the AIS campus.
Holiday Intensive Swim Program
Pre-School Program
This is a fantastic way to keep your child active during the school holidays! The daily repetition of skills often results in skills being learned quickly, this makes this program a great option for children struggling with a particular skill and/or wanting to get to the next level. Not only are children building confidence, they are also developing fitness and getting between 30-60 mins of exercise each day.
Running parallel to the Sports Program, we modify content to suit the capabilities of the younger participants. Using creative instruction and positive encouragement, sessions focus on skill acquisition and development, balance and co-ordination. We also place emphasis on life skills such as listening, following instructions, sharing and teamwork.
