In last few days the AFL has changed the participation age rules for U08's.
Now a child turning 7 years old in 2016 (born in 2009) can register for U08's if certain conditions apply.
The child must have previously registered & participated in Auskick or has no previous Auskick experience but satisfies NHJFC Out of Age criteria. If continuing to play in 2017 the child must register in U08's again.
This change is for 2016 only as the AFL have indicated they will phase in shorter participation ages next year and beyond.
For more information on registering for U08's go to New player U08
Please be aware that Community Zone protocols apply.
Future proposal by AFL in 2017:
In 2017 the age minimum for U08's will require a child to be born prior to 30/06/2010.
To play U08's a child will need to be born between 01/01/2009 to 30/06/2010 inclusively in 2017.
