As the countdown starts to the football season, the Auskick season kicks off for the younger girls and boys aged 5 or turning 5. 

The Edgewater Woodvale Eagles AFL Auskick program is the perfect way to introduce children aged between 5-12 years to the skills of the game of Australian football. Our program is based on a weekly coaching program that focuses on teaching the skills of the game through appropriately modified activities and rules. The emphasis is on providing a fun and safe environment for both kids and parents.

About EWJFC NAB AFL Auskick

The 3 core elements of the Edgewater Woodvale Eagles AFL Auskick program that make the program successful are:

  1. Fun & Safe – our program has been devised to match appropriate skill development drills and exercises with the participant’s abilities and needs. Your child will participate with children of similar age and the program has been devised to cater for children of all skill levels. The emphasis is on fun activities conducted in a safe environment.
  2. For kids and parents – both kids and parents play a fundamental role in the success of the Edgewater Woodvale AFL Auskick program. The program assists boys and girls to improve their sporting skills and it promotes a wide range of physical activities and good sporting behaviour. 
    It also assists volunteers (mainly parents) to share in the experience of developing the skills of the children at our AFL Auskick clinics.
  3. Managed by the community – the community underpins and drives the success of the Edgewater Woodvale Eagles program. Not only does our local community provide the participants, but it also provides the co-ordinators, coaches and volunteer helpers who are pivotal to the success of our AFL Auskick program. Parental involvement is paramount to the success of our program and are encouraged to join in by assisting with the activities and drills. Our Auskick Coordinators,  Coaches and Assistant Coaches need parental help to ensure all children can participate to the fullest extent possible. Sessions run for an hour-and- a-half. It is also great fun and very satisfying for parents to be involved in their child’s sporting activities.

No football experience for the children or parents is necessary. The children are taught the basic skills of kicking, handballing, marking and bouncing in a safe and friendly environment where they participate in a number of activities and football drills.
