How can I be involved?

Our coaches require assistance every week to ensure the smooth running of the clinic. We encourage parent involvement during the clinics and it’s also a great time to have some fun with your child. Speak to your coach for further information.

 

What does my child need to bring?

• There is no set uniform for Auskick sessions, just general sports clothing will be fine. Many kids also like to wear their favourite team’s colours and jumpers.

• Drink bottle

• Appropriate foot wear. Whilst it is not absolutely necessary to have football boots it will be easier for running when the ground is wet.  

 

What if the weather is bad?

With football being a winter sport, there may be rare occasions when heavy rain will force the cancellation of a clinic. If a clinic needs to be cancelled due to extreme weather, a notice of cancellation will be sent to participants.
