What should I know about Auskick gear and equipment for my child in the Sutherland Shire?

When your child joins Auskick, they don't need to worry about too much gear at first. Most programs, like those at Sutherland Sharks or Cronulla Kings, provide a fun, safe environment where kids can borrow or use club equipment. • However, it's a good idea to invest in a few essentials. Comfortable sports clothing and sturdy shoes are important, along with a mouthguard for safety. Some kids also like to have their own footy to practice with at home, which can be a great way to build skills. • Many clubs also offer a starter pack for new Auskick participants, which often includes a footy, a hat, and some other goodies. Be sure to check with your local club for specifics on what they provide and any additional items you might need.
