Registrations for the 2024 NAB AFL Auskick season open 1 November 2023. Depending on the program type and State/Territory, registration start dates can operate at different times and may not be available just yet.
Children can start playing NAB AFL Auskick in the year that they turn 5. Children can participate in Auskick until they are 12, however, some States and Territories have different pathway options. Our recommendation for any children over the age of nine is to contact our friendly Customer Service team here prior to registering, where they can give you information of what is available in your location and whether Auskick is the best fit still or whether Community Football or our Superkick/AFL Nines is better suited.
For those based in WA, Auskick is open to all children from Pre-Primary – Year 2 meaning they must turn 5 by 30/06/2024. Junior and Youth Football in WA is aligned to the prospective participant's school year, which allows players to engage in football with the friends they attend school with. In some regional areas older children can also register for Auskick due to distance and population.
Yes! We understand that some children (and parents) may be uncertain about participating in the Auskick Program. Because of this we’re pleased to offer session one of every NAB AFL Auskick Program free (subject to that Centre’s capacity). This gives your child the opportunity to trial NAB AFL Auskick before registering and completing payment.
Please ensure you see the centre coordinator prior to session start and confirm that you’re attending the sessions as a come & try. You may be asked to register your contact details. Your child will not receive a benefits pack including a football until online registration and full payment has been made. It is important to note that we cannot offer refunds for change of mind, therefore please do not register and complete payment for your free Come & Try session.

ABOUT THE SESSIONS
For any community/club Auskick centres, an adult needs to be present for your child for the duration of the session. We love all parents/guardians to assist at Auskick so why not get involved in your child’s group?
Sessions will vary on their length depending on your centre. Most centres will run for 50-90 minutes.
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.
COST AND PAYMENTS
Costs for NAB AFL Auskick varies between locations and centres. If you go to our website here and find the centre you wish to register for. When you select this Centre a new tab will open in PlayHQ, our registration provider where you can view season details, price and other important information.

To find out more, please search for Sport Voucher Information on your State and Territory Government website.

HALF TIME
NAB AFL Auskick participants are selected from the State/Territory where the games are being held. Unfortunately, due to a large number of registered NAB AFL Auskickers, not all participants get to play at half time.
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.
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.
