Training Times

Training schedules vary depending on the team you are selected for.

Premier 1st & 2nd XI’s

Training times for these teams will be communicated by the Director of Football before the season begins.

Aspirational & Social Teams

We offer optional training sessions throughout the week, which players can sign up for. These sessions are typically scheduled as follows:

• Weekday Mornings: 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM (Monday to Thursday)​​​​​​​

These sessions are held on our state-of-the-art artificial turf and are overseen by our coaches and student coaches. The cost for these sessions is $50.00 for the season, which includes 16 sessions (one per game week). Players are welcome to sign up for more than one session per week, based on availability.

Aspirational & Social Teams - Additional Information

These teams are typically coached by parent volunteers and our student coach network. Teams may also choose to train together on our No. 3 Field, weather permitting. However, most teams and players prefer to participate in the optional training groups mentioned above.

Individual Training Schedules

We understand that many players are involved in both club and school football, and at Wellington College, we fully support and encourage this. We recommend that players manage their schedules accordingly.

• If the team you are selected for trains twice a week, we expect players to attend both sessions to maintain fairness across the team, especially for Premier teams.
• We also work closely with local Talent Development Programme (TDP) teams before the season begins to coordinate training schedules and avoid potential conflicts. While we try our best to accommodate everyone's schedules, clashes may still occur occasionally.

If you have any concerns or issues regarding training schedules, please contact Stu Widdowsøn, the Director of Football, who will be happy to assist.
