Our programs

From interschool football to the AFL pathway.

Our programs

Our programs reach young Muslims from primary school through to elite football pathways, across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. Whether a participant is representing their school at a Bachar Houli Cup or pushing for a spot on an AFL list, there is a program built for where they are, each one culturally safe, and each one designed to develop the person as much as the athlete.
