Sydney Swans Family Fun Night

With the AFL season just around the corner, the Sydney Swans will be out and about the Sydney Region mingling with players and officials from local clubs.

By Bronte Kerr

On Thursday the 26th of March a raft of Swans players will hit the road to meet and greet players and parents from a number of local clubs.

The family fun nights offer young aspiring AFL players the unique opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade from the experts themselves.

Parents and players are encouraged to bring along a friend to go in the draw to win a corporate Swans game experience.

After- School Auskickers are also welcome to attend the event to learn more about how club AFL works and meet their local club presidents.

Check out some snaps from past Swans club visits below for a taste of what’s in store for Thursday evening.
