North Melbourne Community Camp

As part of the AFL Community Camp, NMFC will provide the opportunity for our local schools to engage in meeting AFL players/coaches. Players and coaches are coming to Rochester and we are invited to join them at Moon Oval in Rochester for the session 

 

LOCATION: Moon Oval Rochester

DATE: Monday the 13th of February 2023

TIME: 2pm-3:15pm

  • The session will begin at Moon Oval in Rochester at 2pm after North Melbourne Arrive. After our introduction we will begin with 30 minutes of QA and some background stories from players and coaches. 
  • After the QA session we will head out onto the oval and begin rolling the footys out with players to mix amongst games and drills. 
  • To end the session, we will allow 15 minutes for the teachers and students to have photos and sign autographs. 
  • Please note we ask students to have appropriate football apparel, balls, or similar items to have signed.
  • We also ask schools to have questions ready for the players. We won’t know the names of the players until a few days out for the visit but will provide them when we can.

After the school connection session, we will be running a second AFL Victoria footy 4 fun where we will run multiple games and again have players mix in amongst the participants. To be involved in this session the participants parents will need to sign them up to the 2nd session.
