AIS Trip in September 2010

[Mourinho]

Due to a couple of late cancellations we have a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in seeing how the top level soccer players in Australia go about their daily lives. Our annual trip to the Australian Institute of sport is open to all players between the ages of 10-17 and is intended to give all participants an insight into the levels of dedication, professionalism and commitments required to make the grade at the top level of football. Players will live and breathe the life of an AIS soccer athlete and will be given the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of some of Australia's top coaches.
