North Melbourne will take over the City of Ballarat in February, with its annual community camp and NAB Challenge match against Carlton over back-to-back weeks.

The entire playing list, coaching panel and support staff will embark on the Roos’ regional home for the sixth year in a row, with Nick Dal Santo and Robin Nahas set to run their first football clinics in the royal blue and white.

The players will have a jam-packed two days on camp, visiting a variety of community groups, primary schools and local senior football clubs. They’ll also deliver meals on wheels, participate in pilates, line dancing and indoor bowls with local senior citizens throughout the trip.

Brad Scott and his coaches will run a unique master class with the North Ballarat Rebels, taking players through a series of training drills and providing an insight for local coaches from various clubs throughout the Goldfields Region.
