North Melbourne Returns for Metro Blitz Part 2

On July 20, North Melbourne Football Club returned to the community for Metro Blitz Part 2, delivering another exciting day of football engagement across Melbourne's west.

A total of 33 North Melbourne men's players visited 14 schools and five community football clubs throughout the City of Wyndham and Melbourne, connecting with thousands of young people and local football participants.

Throughout the day, players ran football clinics, took part in Q&A sessions and delivered club training, providing students and young footballers with a unique insight into life as an AFL footballer. These visits gave young people the opportunity to learn directly from elite athletes, ask questions, develop their skills and be inspired by the journeys of current AFL players.

Metro Blitz continues to play a vital role in growing participation in Australian Rules Football and ensuring communities have access to elite talent and memorable football experiences. For many young people, particularly those experiencing Australian Rules Football for the first time, Metro Blitz provides an opportunity to connect with the game, learn new skills and see the pathways available through community sport.

North Melbourne is proud to support initiatives that strengthen community connections, inspire the next generation of supporters and help grow the game at the grassroots level.
