Essendon continued its commitment to the community with a series of school visits and clinics across Melbourne’s north-west and regional corridors this week. 

On Monday, players from both the AFL and AFLW programs delivered a day of clinics that reached hundreds of kids and strengthened their relationships across the region. 

A total of 14 schools were visited throughout the day, spanning both metropolitan and regional areas. 

This included eight schools within in the EDFL Moonee Valley region and six schools across the RDFNL region, covering Hume and the Macedon Ranges. 

Across these visits, more than 700 students took part in activities ranging from classroom Q&A sessions to energetic kick-to-kick sessions on the school oval. 

In addition to school visits, the Bombers delivered two Auskick clinics. Between the two sessions, 80 young participants took part, enjoying skills sessions and player-led drills.

20 AFL players and 13 AFLW players were involved across all activities. Their presence highlighted the club’s commitment growing the game at every level. 

By focusing on these strategic pathways, the Bombers continue to reinforce long-term relationships with leagues, clubs, schools, and families central to the club’s identity and future talent pipeline.
