Dalby AFC Auskick is a sports club located in the Western Downs Regional area that offers the NAB AFL Auskick programme. As Australia's leading participation programme, NAB AFL Auskick is designed to help children get active, develop valuable life skills, and form lasting friendships.
The club believes in disguising learning as playing, with game-based activities that kids love. It is not necessary for children to have prior experience in Aussie Rules, as they can start Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5. The best part is that NAB AFL Auskick is not only for kids – parents can also participate and get involved.
The experience at Dalby AFC Auskick is described as organised chaos and perfect fun. The game-based activities aim to make children more active and confident. Auskickers are divided by age to ensure safe and fair play, and there are optional all-girls groups available. Through sessions that run for just one hour per week, children will get comfortable on the footy field while laughing and learning along the way.
Additionally, there is no need for expensive kit, as Auskickers can wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
In addition to the benefits of making friendships, spending quality family time, and developing significant life skills, NAB AFL Auskickers at Dalby AFC receive some money-can't-buy perks. This includes a unique pack of exclusive footy goodies, an Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice, which also grants access to games, and the exciting opportunity to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their footy heroes.
Parents are encouraged to get involved and play a critical role in the fun and inclusive environment of NAB AFL Auskick. From coordinating to participating to simply encouraging, families can easily contribute to the programme. Local Auskick coordinators can provide more information on how parents can get involved.
To elevate the Auskick experience, registered Auskickers also have the opportunity to win a spot in Team NAB AFL Auskick, which is considered the best Auskick team of all time. Winners of this competition receive a Grand Final Week experience, a chance to present a medal to their footy heroes at the Grand Final, and $5,000 spending money for the team captain.
