Footy Fundamentals is a carefully planned and structured AFL program, which encourages your active two – five year old to develop their fundamental movement skills, in a fun and safe environment.

Each week, children will focus on one or a set of movement skills, and play fun team-work based games.

Parents are required to participate each week, as we find that the children are more likely to get involved and feel comfortable if they see mum and dad involved!

Fundamental Movement Skills are patterns of movement that involve different body parts such as the legs, arms, trunk and head and include skills such as running, hopping, catching, throwing, striking and balancing. These skills are the foundation movements to more specialised, complex skills used in kids games, sports, dance and every day activities.

Our program runs in each of the school terms, beginning every term in week 2, and is delivered by our highly-skilled staff, who aim to ensure you and your child have as much fun as possible.

Programs 

Toddler Kickers

Age group: designed for children aged 2 years – 3 years

‘Toddler Kickers’ is all about exposing our toddlers to the shape of an AFL football, and using big AFL equipment to encourage active movement, and the development of fundamental movement skills.

Mini Kickers

Age group: designed for children aged 3 years – 4 years

‘Mini Kickers’ are at the age where they are starting to learn the art of kicking a football. They are put through a slightly more advanced course that uses different sized balls and equipment to further develop their fundamental movement skills, encourages listening skills, and introduces some basic teamwork skills.

Kindy Kickers

Age group: designed for children aged 4 years – 5 years

‘Kindy Kickers’ enjoy advanced obstacle courses to challenge their fundamental movement skills, and participate in more teamwork games to encourage sportsmanship, sharing, working together and communication. They are introduced to majority of the skills needed for AFL, and practise them in fun skill-based activities and games. They even finish with a game of football in the last week of the program to put all of their skills to practise.

Kindy Kickers will prepare your child for the popular Auskick Program, the next exciting step in their football pathway.
