The La Grande Broadbeach Holiday Apartments have air-conditioning in the living area and a fully equipped kitchen. The complex is a short 800 metre stroll to the venue, and even closer to the beach. It has a pool, BBQ, gym, spa and sauna, and the youth players who stayed there last year had an awesome time!

Preference is given to those born in 1993 or later, or “older” youth players not in full time employment.
