Melbourne City FC recently conducted a successful Summer Training Camp in Morwell at Falcons 2000 Soccer Club, with nearly 80 local kids participating in the camp produced by the Melbourne City Football School. The camp was specialised for kids as young as seven or eight years old, up to early teenagers. Senior Manager of Melbourne City Football School, Tom Penny, was pleased with the turnout in Morwell. The aim of the program is to have fun and learn the City way, with kids split into four groups administered by two Melbourne City coaches each. The methodology and formation of the training sessions derive from Manchester City itself, where coaches travel the world to conduct sessions on behalf of Manchester City. Kids from Morwell were exposed to the Manchester City way of football, with a full day of fun, learning, and training drills. If participants impressed, they could be selected to represent one of Melbourne City's select clubs at another training camp, and if they are good enough, they could join the Melbourne City academy. The Melbourne City Football School conducts an all-year-round program, with the Winter Term 1 Program a weekly program at 8-9 different venues in and around Melbourne. Players that train during the Winter Term 1 Program could be selected for the Select Squad, and from there, players could be chosen for the academy. The City Football Group owns clubs across six continents, including Melbourne City, Manchester City, and New York City. Melbourne City coaches have been distributed throughout Australia, coaching Manchester City-based football in Melbourne's Parade College, Adelaide, Brisbane, and two in Sydney. The program has been a success, with 77 children participating in the Morwell camp, and the club is looking to expand the program in Melbourne.
