Applications are open for the Fiona McBurney Match Day Experience 2025 program.
The program aims to connect sport and disability by providing a unique experience for individuals with Down syndrome to undertake an official guest AFL trainer role for the AFL umpires on match day. You can find out more about the Fiona McBurney Match Day Experience here.
Participants must be over 16 years of age and should be able to:
- follow simple instructions
- be comfortable being in the care of others and being seated for the duration of a quarter
- be comfortable in loud environments.
We anticipate this to be a popular opportunity and unfortunately, not everyone will get the chance to participate. Selection will be random (pulled out of a hat!). If you are selected, we will do our best to align your experience with your favourite team.
Successful participants will be notified by DSV’s Adult Support Manager, Debby Fraumano, by 30 January. If you have any questions our office will reopen from Monday 13 January 2025. Please get in touch then via phone on 9486 9600 or email info@dsav.asn.au.
To review available matches and express interest please fill out the form by midnight Sunday 19 January 2025 by clicking the button below.
