Australian Football

AFL Auskick, opens in a new tab. Provides boys and girls (from the year they turn 5) with a fun and safe Australian football experience that serves as an introduction to a lifetime of involvement in the game. Children learn fundamental motor skills; the basics of fitness conditioning, including how to train; and principles about the importance of health and nutrition.

AFL Superkick, opens in a new tab. Is for anyone 8-12 wanting to get a feel for footy without the pressure. It’s Aussie Rules without the tackling. Teams range from 5-9 players per side, so kids feel safe learning footy and building confidence, while still having fun.

AFL Nines, opens in a new tab. From AFL newbies to experienced athletes, everyone aged 13+ can feel welcome on the field, which is smaller than a regulation field to accommodate smaller teams. With fun at the forefront, tackling is replaced by one-handed touch. It's nine-a-side with a maximum of 10 games per season.

AFL Blind, opens in a new tab. An adapted version of Australian Football that enables people with blindness or low vision to play. The game is played indoors to support players who rely on their hearing to track the ball. The ball is equipped with speakers which push out a continuous sound. Goal umpires use rattle shakers when the football enters the scoring zone so players can identify the location of the goal.

AFL Wheelchair, opens in a new tab. Created in partnership with Disability Sports Australia and the Australian Defence Force to provide footballers the opportunity to play a competitive game of football, with or without a disability. Games are played between two teams of five in wheelchairs, plus interchange players. It’s played on a rectangular indoor court divided into thirds (like netball), with goal posts at either end.

AFL Deaf, opens in a new tab. Partnering with Deaf Sports Australia to test and develop a modified version of our game, specifically for people who are deaf and hard of hearing. We’re working with the community to design the game they want, with a key focus on developing communication cues to support player and umpire interactions.
