AUSKICK IS a program for boys and girls aged 5-12 years’ in the Westbury and Hagley area and surrounding towns.

It takes initiative, drive and enthusiasm to create any new program but this is what David Brown brings to his concept for making a sports activity which involves the whole family.

The Auskick program is an introduction into football, but also physical activity in general. Children of all skill levels are encouraged to come along.

Auskick provides children with an activity that can run in conjunction with other sports in the Meander Valley.

Sessions are scheduled for each Saturday when a home game is being played by the Meander Valley Suns football club. This will ensure that families can be involved for the whole day.

It is envisaged that this will lead to the formation of a Juniors within the club where members and parents will all participate.

New members are welcome. Membership cost is $80.00 per child. Rosters have been prepared and further information may be obtained by contacting David Brown online at launceston482@repco.com.au or from the website. Everyone is welcome irrespective of skill level.
