Wesley College, St Kilda GFC players, including many Premiership players, put junior members through their paces in a range of activities including tackling, handball and goal kicking. The clinics (there is also a Geelong clinic) are put on each year for GFC junior members aged between 6 and 15 years old. The cost is minimal but you do need to get in early to ensure a place. Bookings for this particular event are only made through the GFC.
