AFL News | The AFL has confirmed the schedule for the 2025 AFL Community Camps program for another year.
The AFL is pleased to confirm the schedule for the 2025 AFL Community Camps program for another year, with teams heading to regional communities across Australia throughout the pre-season.
From visiting junior clubs, schools and hospitals to taking part in clinics and attending community events, more than 700 AFL players will meet fans, recognise local heroes and inspire the next generation.
Melbourne was the first team to conduct their Community Camp with the Demons paying a visit to Mansfield and the surrounding area in the last week of November 2024, with Essendon following close behind with a visit to Gisborne, Castlemaine and Bendigo between December 2-3.
In New South Wales, the Sydney Swans will engage with fans in the Sydney Harbour region whilst their cross-town rivals, the GWS GIANTS will head to Canberra.
Early in 2025 the Adelaide Crows will head to Port Pirie and surrounds, while Port Adelaide will visit the Barossa and the Clare Valley.
Teams in Victoria will cover significant ground in regional Victoria, including visits to Ballarat, Bendigo, Warragul, Wangaratta and the Mornington Peninsula, while Tasmania will once again host Hawthorn.
