NAB AFL Auskick Website

To ensure everyone gets the most out of the NAB AFL Auskick program, participants are split into two groups: ‘Rookie’ and ‘Pro’.

ROOKIE: 5 – 8 years

The NAB AFL Auskick Rookie program is where it all starts. Children from ages five to eight learn the fundamental skills required to participate in Australian football. 

Rookie sessions usually consist of a warm up, followed by skill activities designed to improve and familiarise participants with the necessary skills of the game.

Weekly sessions end in a modified game where children can hone their skills in a safe, controlled environment.

PRO: 9 – 12 years

The NAB AFL Auskick Pro program encourages children to build on the skills they’ve learned throughout the Rookie program.

Simulated match activities and drills offer children a more advanced and challenging environment to test their drop punts, handpasses and marks.

Modified match practice is a feature of the NAB AFL Auskick Pro sessions and is important in preparing children for the progression to the next step in the AFL pathway; AFL Junior.
