The Wongan-Ballidu Auskick Centre, located in the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu, is a vibrant sports club that offers the NAB AFL Auskick programme. As one of Australia's leading participation programmes, Auskick is designed to help children become active and develop lasting friendships while also introducing them to the world of Australian Football.
At the Wongan-Ballidu Auskick Centre, learning is disguised as playing, with game-based activities that kids love. Children can join Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5, even if they have no previous experience with Aussie Rules. Parents are also encouraged to participate in the programme, with various options available for them to get involved.
The experience at the Wongan-Ballidu Auskick Centre can be described as organised chaos, but most importantly, it is incredibly fun. Through engaging activities, children develop their skills and confidence while having a blast on the footy field. To ensure fair play, Auskickers are grouped by age, and there are optional all-girls groups available as well. Sessions run for one hour per week, allowing for a manageable commitment for both kids and parents.
Additionally, there is no need for expensive kit, as Auskickers can wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
Beyond the joy of playing and making friends, NAB AFL Auskickers at the Wongan-Ballidu Auskick Centre enjoy exclusive benefits.
