Henty Auskick Centre is a vibrant sports club located in the Greater Hume Shire Council, offering kids the opportunity to participate in the NAB AFL Auskick programme. As Australia's leading participation programme, Auskick aims to get children active and help them form lasting friendships.
The club provides an introduction to Australian Football, teaching valuable life skills through game-based activities that kids love. It is not necessary for children to have prior experience with Aussie Rules, as they can start Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5.
NAB AFL Auskick offers a fun and engaging experience for kids, often described as “organised chaos”. The programme focuses on game-based activities to make children more active and build their confidence. To ensure safe and fair play, Auskickers are divided by age, and there are optional all-girls groups available. Participants will get comfortable on the footy field while laughing and learning along the way.
Sessions run for just one hour per week, making it convenient for families. There is no need for expensive equipment or specific uniform as Auskickers can wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
Aside from the physical and social benefits, joining NAB AFL Auskick comes with exciting perks. Auskickers receive a unique pack of exclusive footy goodies, an Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice (with access to games), and the chance to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their footy heroes.
At Henty Auskick Centre, families play an essential role in creating a fun and inclusive environment. Parents have various options to get involved, from coordinating activities to encouraging their kids. The club encourages parents to connect with their local Auskick coordinator to learn more about how they can contribute.
For those looking for additional opportunities, registered Auskickers have the chance to join Team NAB AFL Auskick, the best Auskick team of all time. Winners of this competition receive a Grand Final Week experience, the opportunity to present a medal to their footy heroes at the Grand Final, and $5,000 spending money for the team captain.
Henty Auskick Centre provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for kids and families to enjoy the wonderful world of Australian Football. The club encourages interested individuals to register to play, join the NAB AFL Auskick programme, and become a part of their thriving community.
