AFL Cape York’s Sport Education AFL Program is an IN-SCHOOL program. This program has a good balance between practical and theory. Our program caters for both boys & girls enrolled from Prep to Year 12. This program runs for a total of five weeks throughout a term. The program covers AFL-specific skills training (handball, marking, kicking, and bouncing) through drills and modified games. We also focus on developing the students gross motor and fundamental movement skills (i.e. running, jumping, catching etc.). Session lengths vary pending on the availability of class times at each school. Sessions predominantly run from between 45-60 minutes depending on school curriculum timetables. The program will be delivered by an appointed AFL Cape York staff member who has a minimum Level 1 AFL coaching accreditation and has undertaken all the necessary professional development to deliver an effective program.
