The Puma EFC Football Academy is the perfect gift for your son, nephew or grandchild and offers the opportunity for football rookies aged 12-17 to gain inside information into how to best prepare yourself - tactically and physically – from Monday 30 June – Friday 4 July 2008.

Catering to all abilities, the academy is an ideal opportunity to showcase your skills in front of Essendon Football Club recruiters with activities including skills sessions, fitness training and draft camp testing.

Other activities include educational seminars, media training with Essendon players and a motivational talk from Premiership player Adam Ramanauskas. There will also be excursions to the Dome, MCG and EFC Hall of Fame.

Participants will receive the Essendon Football Club tracksuit and t-shirt and will be provided with lunch and afternoon tea on all five days.

For an all-inclusive price of $600, this is one opportunity not to be missed. Numbers are limited to 50 participants so make sure you register today by phoning 9230 0356 or click here to download the registration form.

 Proceeds raised from the Essendon Football Academy will contribute to the implementation of the Essendon Football Club community programs.
