Palmerston boy Benjamin Ogden will realise his ultimate childhood dream when he plays on the hallowed MCG turf during the 2009 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
Ogden, a participant of the Palmerston NAB AFL Auskick Centre was recently selected as the Round 9 winner of the NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year Competition.
As part of his prize, Benjamin will be on hand to present the 2009 AFL Premiership team with their medals, participate in the 2009 AFL Grand Final parade and pre-match entertainment, along with playing NAB AFL Auskick on the MCG during the half time break.
The NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year competition also awards a $5,000 NAB Smart Junior Saver account at the end of the season, to the NAB AFL Auskick participant whose behaviour is most aligned with NAB’s core principles.
AFL Northern Territory Participation and Schools Manager, Xavier Moloney, said the NAB AFL Auskicker of the year was a fantastic initiative developed by NAB and was in line with their commitment to supporting and developing grass roots football.
“The NAB AFL Auskicker of the year competition doesn’t focus on winning or who’s the best player it’s more about educating these kids on how to behave in the community,” Moloney said.
NAB has been involved in the AFL Auskick program for the last 4 years and during this time, contributed over $1million in Centre Resources to over 161,000 children participating in NAB AFL Auskick at more than 2,500 local centres around Australia.
NAB AFL Auskick is the key introductory program for primary school children and their families, providing a fun and safe Australian Football experience for boys and girls.
