See what Melbourne City FC have been up to in the community over the past week with the our School Clinics headlining the update.
Last week saw Melbourne City FC Game Development Co-Ordinators Louisa Bisby and Simon Zappia along with Mark Topic visites 5 different schools across Melbourne, commencing the first week of a 4-week program. All students were taught how to juggle, dribble and be creative in a 1v1, 2v2 situation whilst in a safe and fun environment. Students were also introduced to learning about MiniRoos at local clubs in their area. St Damien PS, Dallas Brook Community School, Mount Ridley P-12 College, Debney Meadows PS and Avondale PS were the schools lucky enough to have us for clinics during the month.
Dallas Brooks Community School had a special visit from Melbourne City FC goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne along with Yarra Valley Water mascot ‘Tap’. Through the Yarra Valley Water initiative and Melbourne City football clinics, students were shown the importance of drinking tap water. Each student was given a ‘BE SMART CHOOSE TAP’ drink bottle to fill with tap water around their school.
