Wests have mixed, boys and girls only teams available across the different stages of AFL.
Our focus is on kids enjoying the sport and for players at all levels of experience and skill to have an opportunity on the field.
AUSKICK – U5 to U8
Kids aged 5-8 start with AFL Auskick. This is the best way to introduce kids to the great game of AFL. It’s all about fun, getting hands on the ball and constantly being involved in exciting activities. It’s non-contact and offers an inclusive environment for everyone aged 5-8 at any skill level to play.
Junior AFL - U9 to U12
For kids aged 9 and above, Junior footy teaches players a range of skills that are easily transferred to other sports. The rules of the game are modified for tackling, smaller ground size and a smaller ball so players can continue to develop their skills in an enjoyable, safe atmosphere.
Players use all skills involved in kicking, catching, and running
Kids gain valuable experience playing in a team-based sport
There are modified rules for juniors that teach skills and are safe and fair
All players play in all positions (up to u10s) regardless of ability and experience
Youth AFL – U13 to U17 Boys & U18 Girls
Youth AFL caters to teenage boys and girls aged from 13 to 18 giving them the chance to play with their friends and form new friendships at all levels of experience and skills. As they progress from Auskick or Junior Football, it provides players with the opportunity to play in a graded competition suitable to their ability within a local community club environment.
Youth Girls AFL
At Wests, girls only teams are available from U10 age group upwards. Focused on fun, fitness and friendship the teams provide a great opportunity for female players to develop the skills of the game.
