Noosa's Rising AFL Youth Sports Talents Remi, Darcy, Riley and Raffi


Your donation is supporting Riley Mackay
We are thrilled to announce the remarkable achievements of four outstanding local youth students from Noosa: Riley Mackay, Raffi and Remi Baviello from St Teresa's Catholic College, and Darcy Dinnage from Sunshine Beach State High. These talented individuals recently showcased their skills and leadership abilities at the U15 Queensland School Sport state AFL championships, representing the Sunshine Coast School Sport regional team. Their exceptional performance caught the attention of selectors, earning them the opportunity to represent Queensland at the upcoming AFL Under 15 National Championships, to be held in Ballarat, VIC from 22nd July. This prestigious achievement highlights their dedication, hard work, and remarkable talent.
Grassroots Beginnings and Commitment:
Each player's football journey started at the grassroots level, and they all currently play for the Noosa Tigers AFC. These young athletes make a positive impact both on and off the field, balancing their commitment to club football and their teammates. Additionally, their active participation in the Brisbane Lions Academy's Level 1 & 2 programs since 2020 has contributed significantly to their development and progress. The Brisbane Lions Academy provides an excellent platform and support system for aspiring AFL players within the Sunshine Coast region, fostering growth in a supportive and structured environment.
Team Spirit and Community Involvement:
While these players possess individual talents, they also exemplify the essence of leadership, teamwork and community. They proudly represent Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, and Queensland, uniting the community through their dedication and achievements. Their determination, resilience, and exceptional skills serve as inspiration to us all. As a community, we firmly believe in their potential and are committed to providing the necessary support to help them achieve their goals.
Supporting the Future:
We warmly invite you to join us in supporting the future football journey, growth, and development of these talented athletes. To assist the players and their families with related expenses such as, team levy fees, uniform apparel, associated travel, accommodation, incidentals, medical needs, injury prevention and recovery support, extra training, and future development, we have set up a tax-deductible contribution link through Australian Sports Foundation. Your generous donations will make a significant difference in enabling these players to pursue their dreams at the highest level. Additionally........
A fundraising BBQ will be held on Saturday, 15th July at Bullitt Espresso, 1 A Gibson Road, Noosaville from 7am, where you will have the opportunity to meet the players and offer your support.
