Elimbah JAFC Auskick is a sports club located in Moreton Bay Regional that offers the NAB AFL Auskick programme. NAB AFL Auskick is Australia's leading participation programme for kids, aimed at getting them active and forming lasting friendships. It introduces children to Australian Football and helps them develop valuable life skills in a fun and game-based environment.
Children can start Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5, and prior experience with Aussie Rules is not necessary. The programme is designed to be inclusive and safe, with age-based divisions and the option for all-girls groups. Auskickers can wear whatever they feel comfortable in, as there is no need for expensive kits.
Sessions run for one hour per week, providing a balance of laughter, learning, and physical activity. The focus is on creating an enjoyable experience where children can have fun while developing skills on the footy field. Auskickers also receive a unique pack of exclusive footy goodies and an Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice, allowing them access to games and the chance to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their footy heroes.
Parents play a critical role in the NAB AFL Auskick programme and are encouraged to get involved. From coordinating to participating to providing support and encouragement, families contribute to creating a fun and inclusive environment. Local Auskick coordinators can provide more information on how parents can get involved.
For those interested in joining the best Auskick team, registered Auskickers have the opportunity to win a spot in Team NAB AFL Auskick. Winners of this competition receive a Grand Final Week experience, the chance to present a medal to their footy heroes at the Grand Final, and $5,000 spending money for the team captain.
Elimbah JAFC Auskick provides an excellent platform for kids to engage in Australian Football, make lasting friendships, and develop important life skills. It offers a fun and inclusive environment for both kids and parents, ensuring an enjoyable and valuable experience for all participants.
