Located in Lockhart Shire Council, Osborne Auskick Centre is a sports club that offers the NAB AFL Auskick programme. As Australia's leading participation programme, Auskick provides kids with an introduction to Australian Football and invaluable life skills, all while having a blast.
Children can join Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5, regardless of their previous Aussie Rules experience. The club believes in making learning fun, so game-based activities are disguised as play. Sessions run for just one hour per week, ensuring that kids stay engaged and active. To ensure fair play, Auskickers are grouped by age, and there are also optional all-girls groups available.
One of the unique benefits of being an Auskicker is receiving a pack of exclusive footy goodies that money can't buy. Additionally, every Auskicker will receive an official Auskick Junior Club Membership for the AFL club of their choice, granting them access to games. They will even have the exciting opportunity to play halftime at AFL and AFLW elite matches alongside their footy heroes.
Parents play a vital role in the NAB AFL Auskick community. Whether it's coordinating activities, participating, or simply encouraging their children, families contribute to the fun and inclusive environment created by the club. Local Auskick coordinators are available to provide guidance on how parents can get involved.
For registered Auskickers, there is also a chance to join the prestigious Team NAB AFL Auskick. Winners of this competition will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Grand Final Week experience, including the opportunity to present a medal to their footy heroes at the Grand Final. The team captain will even receive $5,000 in spending money.
At Osborne Auskick Centre, the emphasis is on fostering a love for the game in a safe and inclusive environment. The club welcomes all children and their families to join in on the fun.
