SALT - Positive Sports Coaching
This session explores the power and responsibility of a coach, the Participation Equation across life stages, and positive psychology and character development through sport. Participants will work through real-life coaching scenarios and inspiring video reflections, and explore how to build trust, respect, and meaningful relationships. The session also covers coaching girls and understanding their unique needs and motivations, creating safe and inclusive environments, and effective, strengths-based communication.
Practice Match – Kinglake JFC vs Alexandra (U14 and U16)
Playing on the day: U14 and U16
The Lakers kick off their 2026 practice match season away to Alexandra — come out and show your support!
This is a great opportunity for our players to get some game time under their belts before the season proper, and we'd love to see as many Lakers fans as possible make the trip to Alexandra.
We're also partnering with the local community to raise money for the bushfire fund on the day, so bring some cash and help us give back.

Under 16 – 12:30pm
After the Under 16s match, join us in the Alexandra rooms for refreshments — a great chance to catch up with fellow Lakers and Alexandra families over a drink. 🍺

Get ready for an action-packed and meaningful day at the Kinglake Junior Football Club's TAC Road Safety Round! This special event brings together the excitement of junior football with a vital focus on road safety, a cause close to the heart of our community, particularly on the challenging country roads surrounding Kinglake.
