Carlingford West Auskick Centre is a sports club located in Sydney, Australia. The club is dedicated to introducing children to the game of Australian Football and providing them with invaluable life skills.
At Carlingford West Auskick Centre, children aged 4-8 can participate in the NAB AFL Auskick programme. This programme utilises game-based activities that children love, disguising learning as playing. No prior experience with Aussie Rules is required, as children can start Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5. Weekly sessions are held, offering simple skills and drills without any contact.
For children aged 8-12 who want to get a feel for footy without the pressure, Carlingford West Auskick Centre offers AFL Superkick. This programme combines training and games all in one session and is held either at a local footy club or after school. With no additional training and limited travel, parents feel less pressure as well.
The club also caters to older age groups. Local Footy is available for children aged 7 and above, offering them the opportunity to play with their mates, make new friends, and keep fit. Weekly training sessions are followed by weekend competitions, providing a gradual introduction to tackling.
For those aged 13 and above, Carlingford West Auskick Centre offers AFL Nines, a modified footy format played on smaller fields. This tackle-free format promotes safe and social play for both males and females and offers a fast-paced touch footy experience.
Carlingford West Auskick Centre is affiliated with the NAB AFL Auskick programme, Australia's leading football initiative for children. Participants in the programme receive exclusive footy items, access to community events, and opportunities to play during halftime at key AFL and AFLW games. Parents can also become Activity Helpers, enhancing their child's experience.
In addition to the NAB AFL Auskick programme, Carlingford West Auskick Centre is a proud supporter of local footy. The club recognises that local clubs are the backbone of many communities and provide opportunities for juniors right through to masters to participate in football competitions. Junior Football is designed for kids aged 7-12 who are transitioning from Auskick or other beginner programmes. The programme offers a safe and fun environment for skill development and play, gradually introducing competitive elements.
With its commitment to introducing children to Australian Football and fostering a love for the game, Carlingford West Auskick Centre is the perfect place for kids to kick off their footy adventure.
