ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Collingwood Football Club have been partnering with FASTA Footy since 2003.

The program is for primary school children, and is open for anyone to participate in regardless of skill level. 

100% of the participants are from the City of Yarra, with the majority living in the local high-rise buildings. The program aims to build resilience and self-worth, increase young people's capacity to develop positive relationships, encourage them to stay at school and contribute to their local community. 

This can lead to long-term community benefits and transformational change. 

Over a nine-week period in 2024, 66 children participated in the program, assisted by Collingwood staff and our Collingwood Magpies Sport & Business Program students.
