Edenhope Auskick is a sports club located in the West Wimmera Shire that offers the NAB AFL Auskick programme. As Australia's leading participation programme, Auskick helps children ages 5 and up to get active and develop lasting friendships while introducing them to the exciting world of Australian Football.
At Edenhope Auskick, learning is disguised as playing through a range of game-based activities that kids love. No previous experience with Aussie Rules is necessary, and children can start Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5. The sessions run for one hour per week, providing a fun and engaging environment for children to get comfortable on the footy field.
To ensure safe and fair play, Edenhope Auskick divides players into age-appropriate groups, and there are optional all-girls groups available. Participants are encouraged to wear whatever they feel comfortable in, so there's no need for expensive kit.
In addition to the physical and social benefits, being part of Edenhope Auskick comes with exciting perks. NAB AFL Auskickers receive a unique pack of exclusive footy goodies and an Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice. This membership includes access to games and the chance to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their footy heroes.
Parents play a crucial role in fostering a fun and inclusive environment at Edenhope Auskick. They can get involved by coordinating activities, offering support, and encouraging their children throughout the programme.
For those interested in taking their Auskick experience to the next level, there is an opportunity to join Team NAB AFL Auskick. Registered Auskickers have a chance to win a spot in the team and enjoy a Grand Final Week experience, present medals to their footy heroes at the Grand Final, and receive $5,000 spending money for the team captain.
To learn more about Edenhope Auskick and how to get involved, parents are encouraged to reach out to their local Auskick coordinator. The club also has a presence on social media and can be contacted directly through their website.
Join Edenhope Auskick and let your child discover the joy of Australian Football while building friendships, developing skills, and participating in unforgettable experiences.
