🌧️ Although the rain may have stopped our training session, it certainly didn’t stop the fun!

A huge thank you to the amazing players from Essendon Football Club who took the time to visit our Merrifield Panthers Auskickers. While we couldn’t get out on the field, our Auskickers loved the opportunity to ask plenty of questions during a fun Q&A session.

Some of our favourite questions included:
🏉 “Have you ever scraped your knee?”
🍕 “What’s your favourite food?”
⭐ “Who’s your favourite player?”

We truly appreciate the players taking the time to inspire the next generation.

We're excited that the EDFL Auskick Transition Program is around the corner! If your child was born between January 2018 and April 2019, we'd love to invite you to take part.

This is a FREE 4-week program that is designed specifically for children who may be looking at transitioning from Auskick next year, and aims to give them the chance to:

✅ Play modified games in a fun and supportive environment
✅ Build confidence before junior football
✅ Learn what games are like without the commitment of a full season
✅ Participate with kids from their Auskick center
✅ Meet other kids from other Auskick centers

The program runs on Friday evenings in Tullamarine,
starting on 31/7 and is all about helping kids continue their footy journey while having fun.
