1. Vaughan Granier ★☆☆☆☆

   Ole Academy is not suited to Wellington football league fixtures games where parents are used to supporting their children from the sidelines (like we all do at every game everywhere else). They have a policy that no parents are allowed on or near the pitch, which is fine. However, they do not signpost this anywhere, do not communicate it in advance, and in our case very aggressively enforced their rule AFTER HALF-TIME. Not before the game started, when they had endless opportunity to do so, but only after the game was half way through. Our young boys had to watch while their parents were aggressively confronted by staff who threatened to cancel their game if we did not do exactly as we were told. They were deeply culturally insensitive and elitist, and seem to have a professional victim employed there alleging "harassment in her workplace" the moment you ask why. I sincerely recommend that Wellington Football take the Ole Academy venue off the rotation for all league games. They can treat their kids and parents anyhow they want, but for those of us who enjoy a morning footy game as a family, cheering our team on from the sidelines, the staff at Ole will ruin your day, and seem to enjoy doing it.

   Played a night game here. Great facility but the floodlights aren't the best

   Great Football Academy. Have an ok, albeit slightly aged turf. Good viewing for spectators. Toilets onsite. Dress warmly in winter as northerly drives straight into the ground. Heaps of parking options around.

   Elite Camp 2023 Great to meet and listen to trainers who love and understand the game. The approach taken at Ole' is exactly what young developing players need. My child learned a lot, worked dam hard,had a huge amount of fun,plus met some great young players from all over the North Island. Well worthwhile.

   My son enjoyed the football camp, he was able to meet kids from all around the country, the coaches were fantastic and he learnt new skills. What more could you ask for.

   I think this is very expensive for the quality of training you receive. We have now joined another team that was formed from other parents who are also not happy with Olé Football Academy.
