Castlemaine Football Netball Club’s recent school holiday program provided an opportunity for kids to get out and get active at Camp Reserve in Castlemaine.
Run by Shawn McCormick, the two-day program for boys and girls aged 6-13, included footballs skills and structured football competitions in a fun environment. On day one, the kids began with some basic football skills before participating in a football match, which was used as a mock ‘draft combine’ and was an opportunity for participants to showcase their skills. Day two saw the three selected teams, the All Stars, the Raging Bulls and the Cobras, play to contest the Fitzpatrick Cup, and participate in the Fitzpatrick Medal vote count.
Shawn McCormick said about 27 kids participated in the program.
“The kids were fantastic and we had some great feedback from parents,” Shawn said.
“It’s a great initiative put on by the Castlemaine Football Netball Club and hopefully we will be back again next year.”
