Auskick at RJFC

Auskick is a great program for kids to get introduced to the great game of Australian Rules Football. Children can start playing Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5. At Richmond Auskick, we separate the kids into 3 main groups – the Kinder Kids (5 year olds), the Prep/Grade 1 (the 6-7 year olds) and the Superkick Kids (the 7+ year old kids). Typically the Superkick kids are ready to enter the junior football club program (Under 8’s the following year). We also do offer an all-girls program for both Kinder and Prep/Grade 1 (depending on numbers).

It’s a little chaotic, it’s a little wild – but it’s a heap of fun. Each week we’ll pick a ‘Skill of the Week’ – kicking, marking, handballing etc. and that will be the focus. But it’s not just about the skills, it’s about games and team-play. We teach kids about sportsmanship, respect and inclusion. But Auskick isn’t just for kids – we want the parents to get involved too!
