More Than Footy – We're Building Confidence Through Play
At AFLKids, we believe footy is about more than just kicks and goals — it’s about growing confidence, learning teamwork, and having fun along the way.
Helping Young Players Shine — On and Off the Field
We create a space where kids of all skill levels feel included, supported, and challenged in the right way.
Our coaching team is made up of experienced, passionate mentors who know how to make learning fun while instilling important life skills like leadership, communication, and resilience.
Whether your child dreams of playing elite AFL or just wants to run around and have a great time with mates, AFLKids is where they’ll feel at home.

Testimonials
Students
Thank you for the camp last week. It was one of the more positive experiences our son H has had with anything sport related. He said he had fun, so a massive win!
All the boys had a great time, A said it was his favourite camp this holiday, and N is excited to be able to do more AFL once the season starts.
Thank you for working hard to make it a safe and enjoyable day for all the children, but in particular for making sure L could participate. He has come away excited for the AFL season to start

He has flourished in his ability since the sessions… As a parent, watching his game go to another level was a pleasure.
