Junior Jets skills clinic
Overview
Like similar programs in other sports, such as AusKick™, Net Set Go™, and indeed Aussie Hoops™, the focus of Junior Jets is firstly upon individual development, and secondly being part of a competitive team sport.

Junior Jets strongly supports the direct participation of parents. In fact all parents are welcome to attend and join in on the sessions. Junior Jets builds on the principles and skills needed to prepare players for game situations when they are old enough to start playing.
Session dates and times

Our Junior Jets program runs each school term.

Boys classes are always popular and sell out fast. For Term 3 we are trialing a second Tuesday night boys class from 5-6pm at Maribyrnong and the participants will be split into beginners and intermediate by the Coaches according to their skill. We have sold out all three boys groups ans the Tuesday night girls group and are now wait listing for Term 4.
Picture
This program is for those children who have not yet joined a team. If your child has been placed in a team for Winter 2019 season they are no longer eligible for the Junior Jets program.

Returning participants from the previous term who did not join an Aberfeldie Jets team are given priority for re-enrolling. Remaining spaces are then offered to children on our wait list.
