April school holiday soccer camp Sydney: the basics

If you're searching for an april school holiday soccer camp Sydney families can just turn up to, here's the short version. KIKOFF runs holiday camps for primary-school-aged kids at its Sydney venues during NSW school holiday periods. Camps run week by week, with day rates available too. Specific autumn 2027 dates and prices are not confirmed yet, so this guide explains the format, what to bring, and how sibling and Active Kids arrangements usually work — without guessing at numbers that haven't been set.

Autumn holidays fall in term 1, between the summer break and the start of winter club football in April. It's a good window for kids who play club soccer to keep touches on the ball, and for kids who don't play club football at all to try a structured session in a low-pressure setting.

What a KIKOFF holiday camp is

A holiday soccer camp is a supervised day program for kids, run in blocks across the school holiday period. Sessions mix skills work, small-sided games, and team activities, scaled to age group. Parents can usually book a single day or a full week, depending on what suits the school holidays activities Sydney families are juggling that fortnight.

How KIKOFF runs camps at its venues

KIKOFF camps have run at KIKOFF Northern Beaches in Curl Curl, on caged pitches with futsal line markings — good for controlled small-sided play regardless of weather. Camps for the September–October 2026 spring holidays there covered ages U6 to U11, priced at $225 for the week or $75 per day. That gives you a sense of the usual structure: a week rate and a day rate, aimed at primary-school ages. Whether an autumn 2027 camp runs, and at which venue, is not yet confirmed in this guide — check the camps page closer to the date.

Easter holiday soccer camp Northern Beaches: what to expect if it returns

Northern Beaches camps have historically run in caged pitches with futsal markings at Curl Curl, which keeps sessions moving even if a few kids are still finding their footing. If an Easter or autumn holiday soccer camp Northern Beaches program is confirmed for 2027, it would likely follow a similar week/day pricing structure to the spring 2026 camp, though KIKOFF isn't naming a date or price for autumn 2027 until it's locked in.

Sibling discounts and Active Kids vouchers

Sibling discount details and Active Kids voucher eligibility aren't listed here as live figures — check the Active Kids voucher help article for current eligibility before you assume a saving applies. Don't rely on a discount you haven't confirmed at checkout.

Why booking early matters for week slots

Holiday camp weeks fill by age group and by venue, not by total headcount, so a popular week for one age band can sell out while others still have room. If you know your child's week, booking as soon as dates go live gives you the best shot at the day-of-week and age group you want, rather than whatever's left.

What to bring and what happens on the day

Pack shin pads, boots or enclosed shoes, a labelled water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat. Most kids wear club or casual kit — no strict uniform is required unless stated at booking. On arrival, staff check kids in, group them by age, and run a warm-up before moving into skills stations and small-sided games. Pickup times and locations are confirmed at booking.

See the holiday camp guide for a fuller packing list and drop-off process, and the child safety page for KIKOFF's safeguarding approach.

FAQs

When do autumn 2027 camp dates and prices get released?

KIKOFF hasn't published autumn 2027 camp dates or prices yet. Once confirmed, they'll appear on the camps page with venue, age range, and week or day pricing, similar to the spring 2026 camp structure.

What ages are KIKOFF holiday camps for?

Camps are aimed at primary-school-aged kids. The spring 2026 Northern Beaches camp covered U6 to U11. Exact age bands for any autumn 2027 camp will be confirmed when the program is released.

Can I book a single day instead of a full week?

Yes, KIKOFF camps typically offer both week and day rates. The spring 2026 Northern Beaches camp was $225 for the week or $75 per day, giving families flexibility around other school holiday commitments.

Is there a sibling discount or Active Kids voucher option?

Check the Active Kids voucher help article for current eligibility criteria before assuming a saving applies. Sibling discount details, if offered, will be confirmed at the time of booking rather than published in advance here.

Is Northern Beaches camp indoors or outdoors?

KIKOFF Northern Beaches uses caged pitches with futsal line markings at Curl Curl. It's an outdoor floodlit synthetic surface, not an open uncaged pitch, which helps keep the ball in play during sessions.

Do kids need to already play club football to attend?

No. Camps suit both club players wanting extra touches over the school holidays and kids who don't play club football and want to try a structured, social session.
