Participation levels have more than doubled under a junior development programme run by AFL New Zealand this year.

November 2011

The organisation, which aims to increase participation in Australian Football, ran two new programmes this year after ASB Community Trust granted $40,000 towards the costs.

As a result, 16,504 players joined in the eight-week AFL KiwiKick programme – up from 7,864 the year before. A further 13,719 students received an AFL KiwiKick introductory taster session.

Meanwhile, the Hawks Cup has grown from a junior competition in 2010 to include both a junior and senior secondary school competition in 2011. This has seen 931 participants take part in the six week programme and a further 4000 students received a Hawks Cup taster session.

“Thanks to ASB Community Trust’s support, we have given our sport a significant impetus in showcasing and introducing children between the ages of 5 to 17 to AFL,” says AFL New Zealand CEO Robert Vanstam.

Sorry for the delay, I was emailing the FFR13 about national jerseys.

No the Department of Foriegn Affairs supplied those figures - not the AFL, not Worldfootynews, not Wiki and not Aussierulesinternational.

Don't be silly. How will he be able to delete posts he can't deal with and change your posts to make himself look good.

What a Loser!

If you gentlemen mean eels fan it is not possible to make himself look good.

No we mean El Diable the TFC pseudo-mod at LU. He's a giant douche who deletes or changes others posts when he loses. He's vowed to never have xman back on LU because I upset him so much with logic. He's not man enough to come here. He'd be shown up for the amateur he really is.

He's a sneaky fucker too, he would lurk around these parts (just like he does on BF) but he'd be too guttless to use his own name.

Oh yes, he has a go at others for lurking but does even more himself.

based on this .....
RSA maybe 2K
PNG ... 1.5K

so we're at about 4K for these 3 countries

you seriously are a deluded f knuckle ..............

I remember once reading that RL is virtually non-existent in South Africa. Bit like RL here in South Australia, Victoria or Tasmania I guess. lol

Those number for the AFL in South Africa are amazing considering how little the AFL has put into the developing market.
