The AFL Victoria School Holiday Programs are fun and engaging initiatives designed to keep kids active and involved in Australian rules football during school holidays. These programs, run by AFL Victoria and the club, provide children with the opportunity to develop their footy skills, learn more about the game, and make new friends in a safe and supportive environment.
Here are the key elements of these programs:
- Skills Development: Participants get the chance to work on fundamental footy skills, such as kicking, handballing, and marking, with guidance from trained coaches.
- Open to All Abilities: Whether a child is new to the game or has been playing for years, the programs cater to all skill levels, ensuring everyone can participate and improve.
- Meet AFL Role Models: In some programs, AFL, AFLW or VFL players might visit, giving kids the chance to meet their heroes, ask questions, and learn from the best.
- Showbag: Each participant will receive their own showbag full of Essendon giveaways which they can wear on game days.
These school holiday programs are a great way to keep children engaged with footy, stay active, and learn new skills while having fun during the break. To register your interest please contact us on community@essendonfc.com.au
