West Australian Football

The exciting AFL School Ambassador program was launched in 2004 by the Minister for Education and Director General at Subiaco Oval. Currently (27 May 2009) there are 862 teachers involved in the program.

"AFL School Ambassadors are teachers who are passionate about their Australian football. They commit to actively and positively promoting our great game in their school." - Colin West, General Manager, WAFC Development and Education.

AFL School Ambassadors are provided with a fully funded Professional Development Day and are supplied with the following:

• Role and expectations of the AFL School Ambassador
• Resources and support available from the West Australian Football Commission, including current football programs available to schools
• Practical PE activities and Cross-curricular activities involving a football theme

Please note: Teachers must attend an Induction Day before they can officially act as an AFL School Ambassador in their school.

If you wish to join the AFL School Ambassador team then please register for the next Induction Day in the metro area (Subiaco Oval) or country region.
