HAVING a kick with your favourite AFL player is a dream come true for many youngsters, which over a thousand lucky local kids got to experience when North Melbourne came to town for their Community Camp on Monday, February 10.
North Melbourne visited 12 primary schools across the region, with 1,400 enthusiastic kids getting the chance to get up close to the AFL stars. The visit included two former locals, North Melbourne’s Captain Jy Simpkin and newly drafted player, Matt Whitlock, who returned to their primary school roots to inspire the next generation of athletes.
Over 100 participants at the Auskick/Superkick Superclinic participated in a fun-filled program of football activities, skill development, and teamwork, which was followed by player signings and photos with their heroes.
The Roos also visited local football clubs and businesses while in town sharing experiences, values and skills that come with being AFL players.
