The club needs someone to run and coach the Auskick sessions for 2024, send us a message if you are interested or if you know someone who’s arm can be twisted 😝

Lisa McGregor will still coordinate the behind the scenes & registrations, you just get to do the fun part!

It goes without saying that its important that our kids are taught the right skills from the start, whilst having fun of course 😉
