2012 is the most exciting time to get involved in AFL with the Greater Western Sydney GIANTS just weeks away from their debut while the Sydney Swans will again vie for the premiership. With a live match every week in NSW/ACT there will be more opportunities than ever before to get involved in the game as a player, fan, umpire, coach or volunteer.

AFL is a game for everybody with competitions tailored to suit boys and girls all shapes and sizes.

Families new to Australian Football can firstly learn the skills of the game through the fun and safe introductory program, NAB Auskick, for those aged 5 to 12.

From there, young players can progress to the modified version of AFL through Junior and Youth Football, all the way to Seniors and furthermore to one of the 18 AFL clubs throughout Australia.

There are also defined pathways for females from Auskick through to Youth Girls and Senior football. Female football is the fastest growing sport in Australia so get out there and have a kick of the footy!

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played AFL before. No matter your age or skill level you can join your local club and one of the experienced coaches will be there to teach you all of the tricks of the trade. Find you closest club today by visiting www.playafl.com.au or calling (02) 8333 8030.

AFL is the greatest game to play as you’ll get plenty of the footy, have a laugh with your friends and be active.

By playing AFL this year you may be exposed to a number of fun and exciting opportunities like running around on the SCG, ANZ Stadium, Skoda Stadium or Blacktown International Sportspark during one of the Sydney Swans or GIANTS matches at halftime. You’ll get to warm-up in the stadium’s changerooms, play AFL in front of a packed crowd and have a great time with your best friends. There will be nothing like it.

For talented players, they’ll have the opportunity to join the Sydney Swans and GWS GIANTS Academies this year where they’ll be one step closer to playing AFL professionally.

AFL is not just limited to players either. There are myriad opportunities for parents and fans to be involved in the game by becoming an umpire, volunteer or coach.

So if you’re looking to have fun, meet new friends and be active then you should play, coach, become a volunteer or umpire AFL this year.
