School Football

The school system has traditionally been the nursery for young students wanting to participate in Australian Football, Australia's most popular sport. The West Australian Football Commission and Australian Football League is committed to ensuring all Australians have the opportunity to participate in our great indigenous game and aims to facilitate appropriate school-based participation opportunities for all students (girls & boys) wishing to be involved, whether as a player, umpire or coach. 

The WAFC School Resources provides information for innovative and engaging curriculum resources designed to bring our game into the classroom while delivering educational outcomes.
