NAB AFL Auskick Program
The NAB AFL Auskick program provides boys and girls with a fun and safe Australian Football experience and it activates and develops within each child the desire for a healthy lifestyle and an association with our great game. This is achieved through activities and programs for individuals, small groups and teams, and aims to assist development of personal and social skills.
Adults play an essential role in Auskick, whether as parents, coaches, administrators or officials and children learn best by example.
Codes of conduct are important in Auskick and provide clear behavioural guidelines and promote a quality environment in which both the game and the participants can flourish.
