Luke Reynolds leads the coaching panel. Holding an AFL Foundation Junior coaching accreditation, he has worked with hundreds of junior AFL players since 2014. Outside of AFL coaching, Luke is a high school teacher and has the role of Head of Department. In terms of educational qualifications, he holds a Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Teaching, and Master of Education (Educational Leadership).

The coaching team is made up of people with extensive backgrounds in AFL and education. With AFL Foundation Coaching certification, working with children clearance, and university degrees in education, we offer a group of qualified coaching professionals. Most of our coaches have played for clubs in junior or senior competitions in Sydney. They have racked up hundreds of hours of coaching, working with junior AFL players of all abilities inside schools and junior AFL clubs. Additionally, some of our coaches work as primary and high school teachers.

STEP 1. PLAYERS PLACED INTO TEAMS

The AFL camps we offer are day camps with no overnight stay. In other words, think of AFL camp as a typical day at school. For example, the coaching team greets players and parents during the morning drop off. Based on information provided by parents and our internal procedures, we place children into groups based on age and ability. Where possible, children are grouped with friends and siblings.

STEP 2. DELIVERY OF THE COACHING AND LEARNING PROGRAM

The coaching program is implemented in a way where children rotate through specific skill stations. Meal and drink breaks are afforded to all players like they would receive during a school day. For instance, players get a recess and lunch break at camp.

STEP 3. FEEDBACK AND PLAYER RECOGNITION

At the end of each day of camp, players reflect on their learning. On the final day of camp, coaches issue awards to high performing players as well as a player report to provide children and parents feedback around player performance, skill development, and attitudes.

• Professional, licensed, qualified, and experienced coaches

• Safe and inclusive learning environment

• Appropriate clothing: T-shirt, shorts/track pants, running shoes or footy boots, jumper in case of cold weather, a hat/cap, and change of dry clothing in case of wet weather.
• Protective equipment: If players have their own mouth guards or head prtoection, they are encouraged to bring this to AFL camp.
• Sun Cream: All players should bring their own sun cream. We do supply sun cream at our cricket camps. Our staff will verify that the children reapply sun cream during different stages at camp. For child protection reasons, we cannot assist children in applying sun cream.
• Food and Drinks for Recess and Lunch: Healthy balanced recess and lunch. We do not provide food for children.
• Refillable drink bottles: All children will be given opportunities to refill bottles with water during the day and will be given frequent opportunities to rehydrate with water.

Take a look at what our AFL coaching curriculum looks like. However, please note that our coaching program is subject to change. For example, it constantly evolves and adapts to the learning needs of players at each camp.

Our coaches have AFL coaching qualifications and have played AFL at junior and senior levels. The team is led by experienced sports coaches and school teachers. Combined with access to the latest AFL coaching resources and facilities, our team has what’s needed to enhance your child’s AFL performance.

The core function of our AFL Camps is to provide your child sound technical advice today to help them achieve their goals tomorrow. From teaching players the correct kicking, hand passing, tackling, bouncing and marking technique, our structured AFL coaching program can help boost your child’s AFL skills.

A cornerstone of our AFL Camp is educating and inspiring junior AFL players to maximise their potential. With a large focus on teamwork, technique development, rewarding players for giving their best, and establishing friendships based on respect, you can expect your child to feel included by our team.

My son loved the one day AFL camp. Please bring more camps to Waratah Oval!

All your coaches and staff were very informative and helpful. My son got a lot out of the program and I look forward to sending him again.

The team at Super Sports Camps run a very well planned and coordinated AFL coaching program for our players at Concord Giants AFL club. We value Luke and his coaching team because they provide a fantastic service in the school holidays for kids and parents at our club. We look forward to working with Super Sports Camps next AFL season.

Thanks for the amazing AFL Camp. Ava loved it. She gave me a twenty-minute crash course on “techniques” and whether or not the footy was a pot of gold. She had a tremendous time with your coaches and enjoyed making friends with other children she’d never met before the AFL Camp.

When my kids came home from their AFLCamp and I ask them about their day, instead of replying with the expected “it was good mum,” they instead rattle off all the great new skills they’ve learned! The boys also get a report to take home which shows their ability and progression levels which is fantastic.

Sophia and Olivia said that they had an awesome time and are looking forward to going next school holidays.

Well organised, parents well informed and any questions answered promptly. Luke was very good with the class, and is a great role model and leader.
