With a slate of Sunday home games in the second half of the season, Essendon Football Club will turn its attention to its youngest supporters around the ground. 

In support of the AFL’s Sunday Funday, the club will complement the league’s free junior admission initiative with entertainment and activities aimed at kids and families. Key highlights include: 

- Look out for Skeeta around the concourse before the game, as he will be giving out passes for kids to take part in a guard of honour – an inner sanctum experience to watch the players run out and through the banner.

- Skeeta’s Party Room is located on level 2, Gate 1 and will be open from 3pm until the start of the game. The room will have activities and crafts for kids, as well as surprise visits from EFC players.

- A halftime junior trivia competition on the big screen with a team-signed footy up for grabs.

- EFC Ground Crew will be handing out 1,000 free water bottles to promote the club’s partnership with VIC Health and in support of new water fountains that have been installed at Etihad Stadium.

Skeeta’s Sundays kick off this Sunday at Etihad Stadium when the Bombers take on Greater Western Sydney at 4:40pm. Future games include:

- Sunday 10 July 4:40pm vs St Kilda

- Sunday 24 July 1:10pm vs Brisbane

- Sunday 14 August 1:10pm vs Gold Coast

- Sunday 21 August 4:40pm vs Western Bulldogs

Free general admission tickets are available to children under the age of 15 and can be purchased in advance, which will be subject to the ticket agent transaction fee, or will be available on match day at the box office where no additional fees will be incurred.
