AFL Clinic’s at St Dominic’s

Over the last 3 weeks, students in Year 3 to 6 have been participating in AFL Clinics run by AFL WA.  With the Winter Lightning Carnival coming up in Week 9, this was the perfect opportunity for the Year 5 and 6 classes to practice gameplay, with the Year 3 and 4 classes refining their skills.

Lachy, who plays for Subiaco Football Club, came out to our school to teach the students about kicking, marking, handballing and even a bit of tackling.  Our 5 and 6 students will be playing a hybrid AFL 9’s competition at the Winter Carnival, so for them, it was great for them to incorporate these skills into gameplay, even with the limited space we have.

Please find attached some photos of our budding footballers in action.
