The U13 Super League squad will be touring Canberraduring the September school holidays. The purpose of the trip is for players to enhance their football and recreation development. Monash coaches will also hope to build new networks with inter-state colleagues. Three single games have been scheduled against two local A league teams, and one game against the Capital Football U13 Academy Squad.
A major part of the trip is for the players to experience the facilities of the Australian Institute of Sport, (AIS) including engagement with an AIS Instructor for a full recovery training centre following their second game. The team will be training on the AIS multi-field, using the pool recovery and ice bath facilities, and playing one game on the AIS synthetic football field.
