Sandgate JAFC Auskick is a sports club based in Brisbane, Australia, that offers the NAB AFL Auskick participation programme. As Australia's leading programme for youth involvement in Australian Football, Auskick is designed to help children stay active and develop lasting friendships.
The club's philosophy centres around game-based activities that make learning enjoyable for kids. It is not necessary for children to have prior experience with Aussie Rules football, as they can start participating in Auskick in the year they turn 5. What sets NAB AFL Auskick apart is that it's not only for kids but also provides opportunities for parents to get involved.
During Auskick sessions, the club embraces what might seem like organised chaos and believes it to be extremely fun. By dividing Auskickers into age groups and offering optional all-girls groups, Sandgate JAFC Auskick ensures safe and fair play for all participants. Additionally, kids will become more comfortable on the football field while simultaneously developing their skills and having a laugh.
Auskick sessions run for one hour per week, eliminating the need for expensive equipment. Children can wear whatever they feel comfortable in, making it accessible for all families. Apart from the physical benefits, Auskickers receive a range of unique benefits, including an exclusive pack of footy goodies and an Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice. This membership provides access to games and the chance to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their football idols.
Parents play a pivotal role in the NAB AFL Auskick experience. Sandgate JAFC Auskick recognises this by creating a fun and inclusive environment that encourages family involvement. From coordinating to actively participating or simply cheering, parents are encouraged to engage with the programme. Local Auskick coordinators are available to provide information on how parents can get involved.
For those looking to go above and beyond, Sandgate JAFC Auskick offers the opportunity to join Team NAB AFL Auskick, the best Auskick team of all time. Registered Auskickers can enter a competition to win a spot on this prestigious team, which offers a Grand Final Week experience, the chance to present a medal to their football heroes at the Grand Final, and $5,000 spending money for the team captain.
Sandgate JAFC Auskick strives to provide an exceptional sporting experience for children and parents alike. The club aims to make it easy for kids to play and for parents to be engaged and have fun at every stage.
