The AFLNZ Youth Programme is getting ready for the 2023 season, and registrations have opened. The AFLNZ Youth Competition is a “participant first” programme and we aim to ensure that the focus is on the development of those taking part.
The aim of the Youth Programme is to provide a fun and exciting environment to experience AFL and develop and learn AFL Skills, Rules, Game Play and the continued Pathway’s available to our participants.
The programme will provide a weekly focus on specific modules on each of these areas and you also have access to learn more about these elements as and when you choose.
