Side note; Buz is COMPLETELY adorable and appears to be a much welcomed little team supporter at training and around the Adelaide Football Club. Actually, it felt like he was a bit of a star in his own right – he was pulling in a LOT of high fives and seemed loved and known to all of the AFC staff and players.

We love the AFLW and all that it stands for. Read on for our short interview with Courtney on all things footy, balance and Mum life. Then get your self down to Richmond Oval (now called Hisense Stadium they tell me….) for a home game this season! It’s a perfect FREE family outing and there are home games on Sunday 1st March, Sunday 15th March and Sunday 29th March 2020.

Parent review from Sue

Sue recently sent her two daughters to the AFL Max Skills School and here is what she had to say about the program.

“When your day is lead off with 2 AFL captains, you just know this will be something elite. Jordan Dawson and Rory Sloan were so engaging, upbeat and inclusive as they kicked off the clinic, aimed at 6-12 year old kids.

All kids are put through their paces as they arrive to ensure they get grouped with kids of similar abilities, it was great to also see friendship groups were catered for, let’s be honest sport is meant to be fun, right?!!

Early sessions focused on the focus word of the day “CARE” this was care in leadership, care for others and care for yourselves. Hearing safety on the ground discussed with kids was fantastic as head safety was paramount in learning skills correctly and safely. This was reinforced right across the day by all. 

Great positive messaging!

As the day progressed, across 4 quarters of activities, the kids ended up rotating across many stations of ranging activities that rounded out in a variety if football games at the end that were reinforcing the skills learned earlier. The kids didn’t even realise these learning progressions they were receiving- they were too busy having fun!

Prizes were given away to kids who demonstrated the focus of CARE and RESPECT and LISTENING, which is wonderful to see such values reinforced.

After 6 hours of footy, fun, friendship and time with their heroes, there’s absolutely no doubt kids will be home, exhausted and inspired to be tomorrow’s little superstars! “

    Find it at: McFarlane Street, Glenelg North (just off Tapley's Hill Road) Combine a fantastic playground with all the facilities you will need, with a bit of local history, and you have the Old Gum Tree historic site and playground at Glenelg.  With 3 seperate undercover areas to cater for multiple groups at one time, scattered around a spacious area shaded by huge (probably gum) trees, this is the perfect spot for your family gathering or just an afternoon play.  It is fully fenced, although the surrounding streets aren’t very busy anyway, plus it has toilets and 2 BBQs.  More importantly though is the flying fox. We have tried a lot of flying foxes but not many have 2 cables, one with your usual rope but the other with a chair with harness! Such a great idea to include every kid who wants to have a go. Add in a couple of swings, a slide and a rope climb and kids of all ages will love the very modern and updated equipment.  Don’t forgot to take a look at the Old Gum Tree site and learn why our basketball team is called the 36ers!
