WA Football

The annual cultural and football carnival between the Wiluna Martu Eagles and the Dalkeith Nedlands Junior Football Club will take place this long weekend of 1-3 June, 2013.

A Commencement Ceremony and training session was held at Kings Park today and the game will be played from 10am to 1pm on Sunday June 2 at Dwellingup Oval.

The WA Football Commission and West Perth Football District will launch a new program on June 11 using football to build fundamental movement skills in children aged 18 months to 4.5 years.

Football is an Australian way of life, a lifestyle for many parents and a sense of joy for children growing up in local back yards across Perth’s Northern Suburbs.

Footy Fundamentals will trial as a 4 week program at Arena Joondalup on Monday 11 June for three age groups- 18months – 2.5years, 2.5years – 3.5 years and 3.5 – 4.5 years where our kids can progress on to the hugely popular Auskick model. The program will be run on the football oval and within the West Perth Football Club change rooms.

The West Australian Football Commission encourages junior clubs and Auskick centres to nominate now for The Constable Care Child Safety Awards 2013.

Last year, NAB Auskick Coordinator Amy Potter took out an individual award for her outstanding work at Armadale Junior Football Club. The WAFC is hoping more football winners like Amy will emerge in 2013.

The prestigious annual event will recognise and reward the people and organisations whose work or voluntary efforts make a positive difference to child safety in Western Australia.

Former AFL star Shane Crawford will make his first trip to Western Australia next week as the new NAB AFL Auskick Ambassador.

Crawford, who has taken over the role from Hawthorn legend Robert Dipierdomenico, will travel to the South West towns of Australind, Bunbury and Busselton over a three day period.

Play AFL Open Day (Registration Day) for all Junior Football Clubs commenced on Sunday February 17^th 2013, with players and umpires of all ages encouraged to head down and sign up for the coming season.

Junior Football Clubs all over the city will open their doors encouraging local boys and girls to 'Play AFL' or 'Umpire AFL' in 2013.
