Auskick (Ages 5-8)
Auskick is the ideal introduction to AFL for kids aged 5 to 8, offering a fun and supportive environment to learn the game’s fundamentals—kicking, marking, handballing, and teamwork. With activities and modified games designed for young players, the program helps kids build confidence, develop skills, and make new friends.
Beyond the field, Auskick creates a sense of community for families, celebrating every milestone and fostering a love of the game. From local sessions to playing halftime at GWS Giants matches, it’s where AFL journeys begin with smiles and fun!
Kickability (All Ages)
Kickability is an award-winning program designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or intellectual, communication, or attention disabilities. It offers a safe, inclusive environment where kids can enjoy AFL through tailored activities and modified games that suit their needs.
The program focuses on fun and participation, helping children build confidence, develop skills, and experience the joy of being part of a team. Kickability ensures every child, regardless of their ability, has the chance to thrive and connect through sport.
