Training
Training sessions usually starts 4-5 weeks before the season commences. Most will be held at Steve Chisholm Oval (Blackman Park B3/4) on a Wednesday , Thursday or Friday afternoon (depending on your team or age group).
For the 2020 season, the first official session is on Thursday 27 February. The sessions start in the late afternoon, with the exact time determined by each team. They consist of some craftwork and general warm up. Then each age group will be broken up and trained by their respective coaching team.
The sessions usually last around 1-1.5 hours.
AFL Sydney Juniors season
Season starts on Sunday (4 April). All home games will be at Blackman Park on Sunday mornings, with several Friday night games also in store.
