Each centre has a NAB AFL Auskick Coordinator who runs the centre, this is largely due to the amazing efforts of volunteers. Each age group will have a main coach and helper coaches. All parents/guardians are encouraged to get involved in NAB AFL Auskick and no experience is necessary.

There is no set uniform for Auskick sessions, just ensure your child is comfortable to be able to participate in all activities. We recommend sports clothing and either runners or footy boots. Many participants choose to wear their AFL team’s colours and jumpers.

In some cases where our staff and volunteers deem it unsafe Auskick will not run. Volunteers and staff will endeavour to provide this information prior to the session if practically possible.

HALF TIME

NAB AFL Auskick participants are selected from the State/Territory where the games are being held.

You will receive communication from the relevant contact depending on your State/Territory which will include all information, including: meeting time, location, what to wear and bring, ticket allocation and much more.

Unfortunately, due to a large number of registered NAB AFL Auskickers, not all participants get to play at half time.

The NAB AFL Auskick half time games are not filmed, the images that are shown on TV are owned by the station that is showing the game (Channel 7 or Fox Footy). The best thing to do to obtain a copy would be to get in contact with the TV station that showed the game.

NAB AFL Auskick participants are chosen through centre coordinators in each State and Territory (where game is being played) who put in an expression of interest to play.

We have two groups that play on Grand Final Day: the 23 Team NAB AFL Auskick teammates and additionally, up to 48 Victorian NAB AFL Auskickers from the current season will be offered the opportunity to take part in the NAB AFL Halftime Auskick. For your chance to be one of the 23 Team NAB AFL Auskick teammates, enter the competition here.
