I coach a domestic U11 Bulleen boys team, and also have participated in many academies from Bulleen such as the Holiday camps, which consist of 6 hour long training sessions with kids aged from 5-15 years old of any gender, race, ethnicity, background etc. I also worked for the 'Bulleen Academy', which occurred every Sunday and consisted of an hour long session of consistent training and rotations.
