What do we need to wear/bring?
When attending an Auskick session, comfort and safety are key. There is no specialist clothing required, we recommend comfortable activewear with sneakers (football boots are not necessary).
Players need to bring a hat and water bottle to each session.
Do Auskickers have training?
No, Auskick does not conduct training sessions.
Do I have to volunteer?
The Auskick program operates on a volunteer basis and we need the help of parents to make sure the Auskickers are having a great time. Every year we call on parents to help us make every session a success. It’s not onerous and you don’t need to be a seasoned coach. Just help to keep the kids moving and having fun is all there is to it. If you are able to assist please email our Auskick coordinator.
All volunteers require a Working With Children certificate.
Who can I contact with questions?
All enquiries can be made to the Auskick coordinator, Tim Smith.
