TEAM TALK BALLS

AFL PLAY Team Talk Balls boost mental fitness by driving connections and conversations at local clubs around Australia.

In collaboration with Movember, the Team Talk Balls will become a key part of Ahead of the Game’s kit bag. Each club that takes part in the Movember Ahead of Our Game program will keep a Team Talk Ball for players, coaches and volunteers. These balls are a practical tool to help young players check in with each other and build connections while having a kick.
