The camps will see players from all 18 AFL clubs visit both metropolitan locations and regional centres, and spend two days meeting fans and developing stronger links between Australian Football and the community.

The Swans will be flying in on February 6 and 7, and will also be visiting Sydney City, Wollongong, Bowral,
Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Terrigal, Wagga Wagga and Coffs Harbour.
AFL General Manager Game and Market Development, Simon Lethlean, said the Australia Post AFL Community Camps are an important vehicle in recognising that grassroots football and the community are the lifeblood of Australia’s Game.
“The Australia Post AFL Community Camps allow us to highlight the connection Australian Football has with communities’ right around the country,” Lethlean said.
“Community Camps are the perfect platform for fans, no matter where they live across our wide country, access to their favourite players.”
The program started in 2003 and has so far reached 1,118,278 students across 5,873 school visits since its inception.
