AUSKICK SEASON 2017
Welcome to all participating children and parents to Auskick 2017. Our sessions run from the 21st April, 2017 to 28th July, 2017. Please see below ‘Season Schedule’ for dates and activities. (subject to change)
Upon registration each child will receive a kit that is depicted within the registration brochure. This kit will be sent to you nominated address.
Our regular skills clinics will run from 5pm sharp to 6pm. Friday evenings (as per schedule) at the St Mary’s Sporting Club, Kardinia Park West, La Trobe Tce.,Geelong, In the event of an AFL game being played on a Friday night, St Mary’s Auskick will be held on an alternative night of that week. (Listed as Thursday 4pm – 5pm)
Although football is a wet weather sport, as in the past it has been decided that in the event of a wet Friday evening the particular clinic will be cancelled. Our usual indicator is that if it is raining at 4.45pm. in Geelong on the Friday, no clinic will be held.
Auskick is a volunteer run program. Our aim is to help children be interested in sport, to learn co-ordination skills, to be part of a team and above all to have fun without the emphasis on competition.
Parent participation is also encouraged to assist in their child’s activities. I would appreciate as many parents to become involved in assisting in the various activities/drills that are undertaken. Our policy is for children not to be left at Auskick without parents being present at the football club during the sessions.
I look forward to an enjoyable Auskick working together with the children and parents alike.
