Program, assessment and progression.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Program Structure
How is the MCA pathway structured?
Early Learning is a distinct 10-week beginner offer. MCA Academy is one connected offer with three assessed progression stages: Foundation, Intermediate and Elite.
What are the MCA Academy stages?
Foundation, Intermediate and Elite describe development readiness within MCA Academy. The current age bands are useful guides, but MCA should use assessment evidence rather than age alone for final placement.
How is a player's starting stage decided?
MCA assesses the player's skills, game understanding, physical readiness, training history and goals, establishes a benchmark and recommends the stage that provides the right challenge.
Can a player progress between Academy stages?
Yes. MCA should review performance evidence and development benchmarks regularly, then progress a player when the required readiness is demonstrated. Publish the exact review process once approved.
MELBOURNE PROGRAMS
Melbourne Programs
Does every Melbourne intake offer every Academy stage?
Stage and group availability has not been supplied for every Melbourne intake. The website should say "subject to assessment and availability" and confirm placement during enquiry.
Does the Academy stage change the price?
Pricing attaches to the local Academy format or intake, not to Foundation, Intermediate or Elite, unless MCA later approves a stage-specific commercial model.
What does the annual program cost?
The supplied draft Melbourne rate is AUD $175 per week for 40 weeks, or AUD $7,000 in total, paid quarterly. Confirm GST treatment and billing dates before publication.
What does the Winter Block cost?
The supplied draft Melbourne Winter Block is AUD $200 per week, or AUD $2,000 in total, paid in two instalments of AUD $1,000.
What do the Spring and Summer blocks cost?

Are flights and visas included in the tour price?
