The Advanced Player Program at 2Addictive Lifestyles Training Centre is designed for high-performing junior players who are already competing at Kangaroo level, representative, academy or NPL pathway level and are seeking a more demanding, professional training environment.
This is an invitation and trial-based program, created for players who show strong technical ability, game understanding, and the commitment required to train at an elite standard.
While the program is primarily for ages 10–12, exceptional 9-year-old players with advanced skill and technique may be considered.
Training is delivered at our indoor facility located at 325A Bay Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192, servicing families across Bayside Melbourne.

This program is suited to players who:
- Are currently playing at Kangaroo level or higher
- Are looking for extra training outside their club
- Want to train alongside stronger, like-minded players
- Are serious about long-term development and progression
All players must complete a trial assessment before acceptance to ensure the group maintains a high performance standard.
