The Program
The Sporting Schools program uses games and activities to introduce students to AFL. Activities are adapted to student cohorts and include both coach-delivered and teacher-led programs that can be run at any time of year!
You don’t need an AFL oval, posts or even a big space to run an AFL program; we can modify to indoor & small spaces if needed. We can cater to all abilities, including programming for support needs and modifications for students with additional needs.
