The biggest tournament in football has taken over screens, conversations and early mornings across the country. Young players are watching the world’s best receive under pressure, take defenders on, find the corner and celebrate moments they will spend the rest of the school holidays trying to recreate.

Now they have somewhere to take all that energy. From Monday 6 July to Friday 10 July 2026, S4S Academy will take over the in-store pitch at Ultra Football Melbourne for five days of football, development and competition.

Created for young players aged 7–12, the S4S Academy x Ultra Football Holiday Clinic brings elite coaching, proven training methods and a full day of football together inside one of Melbourne’s most football-obsessed spaces.

Places are strictly limited to 16 players per day.

Five Days Of Football At Ultra Football Melbourne

School holidays should mean more time with the ball. Across five action-packed days, players will train on the pitch at Ultra Football Melbourne under the guidance of S4S Academy’s experienced coaching team.

Each clinic will run from 9:30 AM until 3:30 PM, giving players a full day to develop their technique, compete, build confidence and enjoy the game alongside other motivated young footballers.

The program runs from Monday 6 July through to Friday 10 July, with one-day passes available for $129 per player.

Parents can choose the date that works best for their family, while multi-day pass options may also be available through separate booking listings.

What Players Can Expect

This is not six hours of standing in lines and waiting for a touch.

The S4S Academy x Ultra Football Holiday Clinic has been designed to keep players active, engaged and involved throughout the day.

Sessions will include:

• Technical skill development

• Ball mastery

• 1v1 attacking and defending activities

• Small-sided games

• Finishing challenges

• Football competitions

• Tournament-style matches

The day balances structured coaching with the freedom and excitement that makes young players fall in love with football in the first place.

Plenty of touches. Plenty of challenges. Plenty of chances to try something new.

Move. Receive. Strike. Feint.

S4S Academy’s coaching philosophy focuses on four fundamental parts of the game: moving, receiving, striking and feinting.

They are the actions that appear in every match, whether it is a first touch that creates space, a change of direction that beats a defender or a finish that turns an opportunity into a goal.

Throughout the clinic, players will work on these individual skills through targeted exercises and game-based situations.

The aim is not simply to complete drills. It is to help every player become more comfortable on the ball, more confident in their decisions and better prepared to use those skills when the game becomes fast and unpredictable.

Elite Coaching In A High-Energy Environment

Young players improve when they are challenged, encouraged and given the opportunity to stay involved.

Led by elite coaches with a genuine passion for developing young talent, the clinic combines S4S Academy’s proven methodology with the energy of a full-day school holiday football experience.

The limited group size is a major part of that approach.

With strictly 16 players available per day, coaches can spend more time working with individuals, providing feedback and creating an environment where every player remains part of the action.

It is a more personal coaching experience than a large-scale holiday camp, delivered in a professional football setting at Ultra Football Melbourne.

More Than Somewhere To Spend The School Holidays

For young footballers, there are few better ways to spend a day away from school.

The clinic gives players the opportunity to stay active, meet other young ballers and develop their game in an environment built entirely around football.

There will be skills to learn, matches to play, challenges to win and plenty of moments to take home and keep working on long after the day finishes.

For the player chasing improvement, the structure is there.

For the player who simply wants a full day with the ball at their feet, that is there too.

This is what the school holidays should feel like.
