For my son, his DraftStar experience was a milestone - not only in his football journey, but in his life journey as well. He was not only taught some incredible footy skills, but he was also nurtured and mentored by the fantastic staff on board. I will never forget the proud expression on my son’s face when I went to pick him up–Jane Taylor

Declan has loved participating in this camp and found it very worthwhile - we would definitely consider doing another one.–Tracey Fahey

The camp was very well organised, and structured with a good all round support of children interested in pursuing footy. I loved the way they supported the children to speak up, something which I think they all find a bit hard, so the more practice at it the better! I also liked that you spoke about each individual child and gave them specific feed back–Cath Horner
