Whitehorse United Skills-Based Programs
We're excited to be offering not one, but two fantastic programs to support player development:
-
Our Term 3 Skills-Based Soccer Program – weekly training sessions focused on individual skills, technique, and confidence-building outside of regular team training.
-
Our School Holiday Program – a fun, intensive option to keep players active and improving during the break, with skill-building games and challenges in a supportive environment.
Whether your child wants to sharpen their skills long-term or stay match-ready over the holidays, there’s something here to support every player’s journey.
​
To sign up, please choose either or both programs, complete the forms and pay the registration fee.
