WHY THIS CAMP EXISTS
High Performance Development, Delivered Properly
Canberra has strong football participation but limited access to structured, high performance development environments aligned with modern AFL standards.
The Excel Elite Training Camp exists to close that gap.
We bring together leading ACT coaches alongside AFL & AFLW experienced coaches from Victoria to deliver a national standard development experience, aligned with contemporary AFL performance frameworks.
This is an environment where athletes don’t just train they learn how to train, how to think, and how to improve
