GET INVOLVED with the Carlton experience in Shepparton!

The Blues are putting the call out to Indigenous and multicultural junior footballers in the Shepparton region ahead of this week’s community camp.

After the AFL’s announcement at the end of 2025 confirming the re-zoning of Next Generation Academy boundaries, the Blues will head to Shepparton this week - a key part of its significant regional area which also includes Wodonga, Wangaratta, Yarrawonga, Euroa, Benalla, Mansfield and Bright.

With that, this week’s community camp in Shepparton provides the perfect chance to attend the ‘come and try’ day later this week.

It all kicks off on Thursday 5 February, with a football session (5:15-6:15pm) at Deakin Reserve, which will also have select Blues players, coaches and staff all present!

That will be followed up by a session at Notre Dame College on Saturday 7 February, commencing from 8:30am and finishing at midday.

Registration must be through the following link.

Please note, Carlton will be running similar ‘Come and Try’ Days in other areas of its Next Generation Academy region in the coming months: however, athletes from outside of Shepparton are invited to attend this event.
