GIANTS coming to Canberra for community camp
The AFL Community Camp program returns this year to what it was pre-COVID, with AFL clubs scheduled to visit regional communities around the country throughout February and early March, ahead of the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
For the past two years, AFL clubs have conducted community camps virtually because of the pandemic. This year, more than 700 AFL players will be back visiting communities, meeting fans and inspiring the next generation in person.
.
The GIANTS will be hitting the road in Canberra and NSW on 23 and 24 February, giving thousands of community footy players, Auskickers and school kids the chance to rub shoulders with elite footballers.
Players past and present from AFL Canberra are invited to attend their clubs on Thursday evening to meet GIANTS players.
