MORE ABOUT THE UPCOMING AFL SYDNEY DISABILITY PROGRAM

With six clubs from the AFL Sydney competition initially involved, the Disability Program invites children with an intellectual disability* to play Australian Football. The program is open to both boys and girls ages 9-16 years old.

The program will involve six gala days over a period of three months, with the first official day of the program scheduled to take place on May 26, 2019 at Five Dock Park in Sydney’s Inner-West. Greygums Oval in Penrith and Blackman Park in Lane Cove will also host events across the three months.

With a focus on fun and skills development, the inaugural AFL Sydney Disability Program will look to provide junior participants with an opportunity to play Australian Football with their peers in a safe and inclusive environment.

As the AFL NSW/ACT Rams Inclusion side growing from strength to strength in the National AFL Inclusion Carnival, the program will also look to provide a talent pathway for the younger generation of Australian Football players with an intellectual disability.

*This first pilot program will focus on players with an intellectual disability. Children with various other physical and intellectual impairments are welcome to be a part of the program.
