Welcome boys and girls* from as young as 4 to 16
(*Girls up to 14 only)
AusKick covers boys & girls up to the age of 8 & is non-competitive. The focus is on skills, fitness & lots of FUN! Practice matches are sometimes played. Occasionally mums & dads are the opposition!
The first level of competition is U9s. Tackle rules at this age consist of hold & release to promote ball and team work skills. Modified rules apply to the younger age groups.
Youth AFL starts at U14's. Full rules apply but aggressive play is not promoted or rewarded. emphasis is still on skills development and many talent programmes are on offer to those seeking more.
Junior teams play modified rules and MANDATORY zones rotation ensure that every player spends time in the forwards, centre and backs. A fair go for everyone is our aim in the junior age teams.
New umpires complete extensive training throughout the pre-season, are qualified and mentored via senior umpires and AFL appointed representatives to ensure that that there is a fair and safe environment for all.
There is a code of conduct that applies to players, parents and spectators & the association is especially keen to ensure that all behaviour is moderate & consistent with decent standards. Our club strongly enforces these rules & expects high standards of conduct from all players representing Forest.
Players are welcome to join at any stage of the season, we welcome interested folk to come to training anytime, have a kick and meet the coach, no commitment is required at the time, so come along and 'av a go.
