Looking for a fun way to keep the kids active during the school holidays? Little Foxes Footy Academy is running school holiday Footy Camps designed especially for younger children aged 4 to 7 years.
With plenty of games, movement and footy fun, the camps are a great opportunity for kids to burn off some holiday energy while learning new skills, building confidence and making new friends.
And importantly for younger players, the focus isn’t on competition – it’s about having fun, getting involved and enjoying footy.
Footy Skills Through Play
Little Foxes Footy Academy has designed its holiday camps specifically with younger children in mind.
Throughout the day, kids get the opportunity to:
- Learn and practise fundamental footy skills
- Join in fun games and activities
- Improve coordination and movement
- Build confidence
- Meet and play with other kids
- Develop their skills in a positive and supportive environment
Skill development is incorporated naturally into games and activities, helping children learn without taking away from the fun.
A Full Day of School Holiday Activity
The Footy Camps run during school holiday periods, with camp days typically running from 9am to 2pm.
The day includes a combination of age-appropriate drills, mini games and activities, along with plenty of breaks to help younger players recharge.
For parents, it’s also a handy school holiday option that gives kids several hours outdoors and away from screens!
Small Camps With a Maximum of 20 Kids
One of the features we particularly like about the Little Foxes Footy Camps is the smaller group size.
Each camp is limited to a maximum of 20 children.
Keeping numbers small means coaches can provide more individual attention, encouragement and support – particularly valuable for younger children who may be attending a footy camp for the first time.
What Should Kids Bring?
Make sure your little footballer arrives ready for an active day. Children should bring:
- Comfortable training clothes
- Hat and weather-appropriate clothing
- Sunscreen
- Water bottle
- Football boots or runners
- Packed lunch and snacks
It’s worth checking the weather forecast before heading out and packing accordingly.
Early-Bird Bookings
Little Foxes offers early-bird pricing each term for families who register ahead of the school holidays.
Once the early-bird period finishes, regular pricing applies.
With each camp limited to 20 children, booking early is also a good idea if you have particular days in mind.
Why Little Foxes Footy Camps Could Be a Great Holiday Activity
These camps could be particularly suited to families looking for an introduction to footy rather than an intensive sports program.
What parents can expect:
- Camps specifically designed for 4–7 year olds
- Maximum of 20 kids per camp
- Friendly and experienced coaches
- An emphasis on fun and confidence
- A safe, supportive and inclusive environment
- Plenty of physical activity
- An introduction to fundamental footy skills
Whether your child already loves kicking a footy around or has never played before, the aim is for everyone to get involved and enjoy themselves.
What About Older Kids?
Have an older footy fan in the family?
Little Foxes recommends Kicking Dynamics for children aged 8 years and over who want to continue developing their football skills.
How to Register
Registrations open ahead of each school holiday period, with places limited to maintain the smaller group sizes.
Families can keep an eye on the Little Foxes Footy Academy website for upcoming camp dates and registrations.
You can also join the Little Foxes mailing list or follow them on social media to hear when bookings open, including announcements about early-bird offers.
So, if you’ve got a little footy fan at home – or simply a child who loves running around outdoors – Little Foxes School Holiday Footy Camps could be one to add to your school holiday list.
