The Subiaco Junior Football Club NAB AFL Auskick program has been developed to build the foundation skills for playing Australian football and to respond to the physical needs of children ages between 5-12 years.
Auskick allows boys and girls to play sport in a relaxed environment where making friends, having fun with their parents and improving their skills are given equal weight. It also provides excellent opportunity to play alongside other local kids, friends and classmates.
All children regardless of their ability have as many opportunities to touch the ball and use it effectively as the next child, enabling them to improve their ball handling skills and confidence playing a team sport.
Auskick also provides a strong base for kids to move into sport on a competitive level with the Club’s Junior Football program.

Parents have the opportunity to learn about football, parenting skills and make new friends and make new friends through their involvement with the Subiaco Junior Football Club and Auskick.
We are always keen to have parents get involved with our great Club. There are so many ways you can get involved and help and of course, the more parents involved the better the football programme can be. It is also a fun committee to be involved with!
We are in need of more assistant and helper coaches for Auskick. Assistant coaches and parent helpers reduce the ratio of players to coaches and make it easier to:
If the children are able to train and develop their football skills in small groups then they have a more interesting, rewarding and fun football experience.
Please contact CJ or Sue if you are able to assist with coaching.
