What people say
“The team at Rookie Me have created a program that is brilliant for young kids who love AFL football. They are guaranteed a really fun experience while developing their skills in a very professional environment.”
“The training drills we did broke down complex parts of AFL into simple drills that made it easy to understand and to put into practice… The biggest part of the program was the enjoyment that I had. I made some great mates… The coaches who ran the program, were great guys who engaged really well us and that made the experience all the more enjoyable.”
“Anyone who wants to be the best that they can be should consider doing a Rookie Me football program. The high quality, experienced coaches will teach you how to run, kick, mark and handball but more importantly you will gain a more holistic understanding of what it takes to be an elite footballer. ”
“Rookie Me assisted me with my early understanding of what's required to prepare for AFL. It also taught me about skill development and how to self assess my skills to keep improving. Along with that it helped me with building relationships.”
“Rookie Me taught me from a young age, what is required to play at the elite AFL level… It taught me how important it was to continually keep assessing and improving my skills, as I’m playing AFL and still doing these things on a regular basis throughout the week so I can stay ahead of my opposition and keep improving as a player.”
“Rookie me assisted with my early understanding of what was required to take my footy to the next level. It taught me about skill development and how to self assess my skills to keep improving.. Rookie me was able to provide me with the best possible staff who had experienced the game at the highest level. Their knowledge and experiences had helped me turn into a better player and person.”
“The Rookie Me football program is something that all parents should consider for their son or daughter.. My two sons have attended and benefited greatly from experienced coaches running this program. I’ve been heavily involved in footy all my life and can’t emphasise the importance of teaching young aspiring footballers, the early lessons to achieve the highest possible level they can through quality teaching.”
“Rookie Me helped me reach new levels in my football ability and also helped me develop my skill range to a whole different variety. Rookie Me is a big part of how I developed my football and where I am today.”
“I was fortunate enough to take part in one of the founding Rookie Me camps… which gave me experiences and skills I have utilised in my first year of AFL football. I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses through skill and fitness testing. ”
“I would highly recommend the Academy, as I believe it provides teachings of the game at a high level. The drills and knowledge provided at the camps are of an AFL standard. My son has built great friendships with like-minded athletes who are on the same developmental path. The Rookie Me Academy holistic and personable approach to athlete development is highly impressive.”
“Great concept, great program and a great team behind the scenes making the program such a success.”
“My husband and I found, after the first camp that our son came back a different person. He was more confident and seemed to take on more responsibilities with his home/school life and sport. He is more focused on what he wants to achieve and that is thanks to Rookie me. He described it as “Absolutely inspirational “and something he will never forget.”
“From U9 to U12, my son was probably one of the worst players in his team. Last year at U13, he became a football machine and came runner up best and fairest. This year, he has the top prize in his sights and wants to help bring his team a flag. With your program, these things looks possible.”
“You don’t just make better footballers you make them better people, and give them such positive role models, can’t thank you enough!”
