Footy Fundamentals
Kick start your child’s footy journey
Footy Fundamentals is a fun, play-based Aussie Rules Football program for kids aged 2-5, designed to develop key movement skills like running, throwing, and balancing in a safe and supportive environment.
Each week focuses on a different skill through team-based games, with parent participation encouraged to help kids feel confident and engaged.
Programs run each school term, kicking off in Week 2, and are delivered by our experienced and enthusiastic coaches.
Programs
Age group: 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.
Age group: 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.
Age group: 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 the 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 their skills into practice.
Kindy Kickers will prepare your child for the popular Auskick Program, the next exciting step in their football pathway.
FAQs
Comfortable clothing and sneakers are ideal. We recommend clothes your child can move freely in and a hat for sun protection during outdoor sessions.
Nope – we’ve got it all covered! We provide all the footies and equipment needed for each session. Just bring a water bottle, hat and sunscreen or be prepared for cold weather.
Not at all – just one parent or guardian needs to be there to support your child during the session.
That’s completely normal. Our coaches are trained to support children at all stages of development. Having you involved helps your child feel comfortable and included.
Kids aged between 2-5 years old.
