Welcome to St Ives Australian Football Club

"I'm lost I'm lost, can't do my thing that's why I sing gimme, gimme that thing."
Who can forget the images and the lyrics from the Auskick campaign last year showing kids of all ages and backgrounds doing kick to kick across the country. Well, Auskick is back on again, so if you are:
- Looking for a winter sport, but you missed out on the registration days.
- Looking to start with a non-competitive sport, and get competitive later.
- Looking for a sport where younger siblings play together at the same time.
Then the St Ives Junior AFL Club has the answer with its popular and perennial Auskick program where you can join anytime during the footy season (Mar to Aug) at a reduced cost, where children can progress into the later competitive age groups (U9 onward), either at school or any local club, and where siblings play at the same venue each Sunday morning from 8:30am to 10:00am.
Auskick is aimed at primary school-aged children in the U5 to U8 range with a unique focus that:
- Provides a safe non competitive environment for playing footy.
- Develops skills and maximises participation for self confidence.
- Applies rules and procedures most appropriate to the age group.
Accredited coaches deliver the program and it is a lot of fun. For more information, please refer to the Auskick page on the website, or contact Paul Towers (0417 765 975) or Rodney Jackson (0414 461 260).
