24.01.2022 Before the heavens opened!

24.01.2022 *Important Covid-19 update* Hi Families, As most of you may have heard on the news tonight, the AFL has made the decision to delay the start of the Auskick 2020 season until May 31st. ... I expect an announcement to be made ahead of this date to confirm our ability to launch the program. We will do our best to keep you informed via this Facebook page and on email to those families that have already registered. Please refer to link below for official communication coming from the AFL. Cheers Chris https://play.afl/content/afl-update-covid-19-17-march-2020

23.01.2022 Always a great night.

21.01.2022 This Friday night is our FINAL Auskick session for 2019. What a big year it has been! Record numbers again, and great participation in the Lightening Premiership carnivals for our older age group something to look forward to next season for this years Prep group! This week we will commence at the usual time of 5pm, however the sessions will be slightly shorter to accommodate for trophy presentations and time to recognise the volunteers and local business sponsors that hav...e made the program possible. The night will roughly follow the following agenda: FINAL AUSKICK SESSION 2019 5:00pm - Session Start 5:35pm - Kinder group Trophy Presentations 5:55pm - Prep Group Trophy Presentations 6:15pm - Grade 1+ Group Trophy Presentations The canteen and BBQ facilities will be operating on the night as usual. I request that you please purchase a sausage, burger or item from the canteen to support the club as it is one of our primary sources of fundraising throughout the year. Looking forward to good weather on Friday to make for an even bigger Friday night under lights at Templeton to finish the season on a high! A big thankyou once again for your participation, support, and choosing Wantirna South Auskick centre as a destination to start your childs football experience

21.01.2022 Whos excited?? We know we are Dont forget registrations are open for Wantirna South 2020 Auskick season starting 17th April Friday nights under lights at Templeton reserve Any question dont hesitate to message us or email [email protected]

21.01.2022 Hi Auskick families, As restrictions start to ease and the AFL are dusting their boots off, we still have no word on the commencement of the 2020 Auskick season. The AFL have recently communicated to coordinators, saying that theyre working closely with State Governments and Local authorities to determine when Auskick can return as restrictions are eased.... We remain hopeful of a return to play in 2020, and we will provide further information relating to our Auskick Centre in the coming weeks as these discussions continue. Thank you again for your patience during this unprecedented time. You can also contact [email protected] directly if you have any further questions. Cheers Chris

20.01.2022 *covid update* Hi Auskick Parents, It is with regret that I share a decision communicated by AFL Victoria and the Eastern Football & Netball League, the NAB AFL Auskick program will not proceed as intended. A lot of effort from volunteers had been spent behind the scenes in preparation for us to launch Wantirna South Auskick next Friday night, making this news particularly disappointing.... However the health and well-being of our participants, their family and friends, and our volunteers provided too great a challenge for the Auskick season to proceed as hoped. The AFL has now removed the ability for participants to register. For those who have registered, you should receive an email from the AFL Auskick Team on this announcement, and details regarding possible refunds, credit note, etc. The support of the Auskick program from the Wantirna South Junior Football Club is the strongest it has ever been! In committee meetings held so far this year, Auskick has remained one of the top most agenda items to ensure all efforts were being made to provide a program for kids in the community to stay active, have fun with their friends, and offer them the best possible first experience of football. A particular topic of discussion has been to ensure a pathway and engagement remains in place for our older-age Auskick participants who are about to begin a transition into Under 8s football. Such is the commitment, I have meetings planned with the Committee over the coming weeks where we intend to explore ideas in readiness for opportunities that hopefully may emerge later in the year, for the Club to actively engage back with our Auskick community. Wishing everyone good health in these challenging times, and I hope to share some more positive news next time :-) Please stay connected with us via our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Wantirnasouthauskick/). You can also stay tuned into NAB AFL Auskick at Home and Footy at Home, which provides some great content for kids to keep practicing their football skills while at home! Thanks Chris Munro 0407 242 035

19.01.2022 Hi Auskick Parents, Within the current climate of Covid 19 there is a level of uncertainty that goes along with it in terms of our upcoming Auskick program. It is anticipated that there will be a decision made by the Eastern Football Netball League in association with the AFL in the coming days regarding Auskick in 2020. I will communicate with you via email and here on Facebook as soon as I receive further advice.... Thanks for your understanding. Chris Munro (Auskick coordinator 2020)

08.01.2022 *RETURN TO PLAY ANNOUNCEMENT* Hi Parents, I hope everyone has been keeping well over the past few months. It has been quite a challenging time, particularly for the kids with restrictions in place that have prevented them from enjoying many social activities with friends or participating in local organised sport.... So Im very pleased to be sharing with you some positive news following an AFL Victoria announcement confirming a Return To Play for Auskick. At Wantirna South, we are preparing for a re-launch of our Auskick Program on a Friday night starting 17th July 2020. The safety and wellbeing of participants is our number one priority, and accordingly we have been provided with a Return to Play framework to ensure we return to Auskick in a safe manner. The Wantirna South Junior Football Club has already done an amazing job implementing required safety guidelines and protocols for Junior teams to return to training ahead of their season commencement. If you havent registered already, or have friends and family keen to take part in Auskick this season, the online registration process is open again. Simply visit "https://play.afl/auskick" and search for Wantirna South Auskick Centre in the Locator. Start Date: Friday 17th July (first week back at school) Session Time: 5pm to 6pm Location: Templeton Reserve, Templeton Street, Wantirna I will share more information over the coming weeks so that you are prepared ahead of time on the protocols and social distancing measures that will need to be in place. For the time being if you have any questions, please send me an email ([email protected]) or alternatively contact the AFL Auskick Team directly ([email protected]) if you have queries on fees or general concerns regarding return to play decisions. The Auskick program is only successful with parent volunteers. Social distancing restrictions still allow for parent helpers and coaches required to facilitate a session. Please reply via this email if you can help out with coaching, running drills, or administration. Looking forward to seeing everyone again under lights at Templeton Reserve, after the school holidays! Regards, Chris Munro Wantirna South Auckick Coordinator

These awards acknowledge the contribution that volunteers make in our local community. Chris was recognised for providing hundreds of our kids with an inclusive and fun sporting pathway, from their very first kick of a footy through to the Devils junior club. Because every volunteer hour is supported by family, we would also like to ack...nowledge Jodie for all she does. Congratulations Chris!
