Coolum JAFC Auskick is the leading NAB AFL Auskick programme in the Sunshine Coast, offering kids the opportunity to get active, learn valuable life skills, and form lasting friendships. The programme provides an introduction to Australian Football through fun game-based activities that disguise learning as playing. Children can start participating in Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5, regardless of their prior Aussie Rules experience.
At Coolum JAFC Auskick, the focus is on creating a fun and inclusive environment where kids can develop their skills and confidence. Sessions run for one hour per week, during which time participants will get comfortable on the footy field while laughing and learning. To ensure safe and fair play, Auskickers are divided into age groups, and there are optional all-girls groups available. There is no need for expensive kit, as Auskickers can wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
In addition to the physical and social benefits of participating in NAB AFL Auskick, Coolum JAFC Auskickers receive unique benefits that money can't buy. They receive an exclusive pack of footy goodies, an Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice (including access to games! And the opportunity to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their footy heroes.
Coolum JAFC Auskick recognises the vital role that parents play in creating a fun and inclusive environment for the children. Parents can get involved in various ways, from coordinating activities to simply encouraging their children during sessions. The local Auskick coordinator is always available to provide information and support on how parents can get involved.

Winning a spot in this team grants participants 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.
