What ages is Auskick for, and who can register in WA?

Nationally: children can start Auskick in the calendar year they turn 5 and take part until they are 12, although some states and territories have different pathways. The AFL may ask for proof of age, and asks families of children over 8 to contact AFL Customer Service before registering.

In Western Australia: Auskick is for Pre-Primary to Year 2, so a child must turn 5 by 30 June of the season year. For 2026 the WA Football handbook sets these birth date ranges:

Auskick and Superkick aged children cannot play in WA junior competitions. Junior football starts in Year 3.
