Richmond is set to visit Echuca, Shepparton, and Mooroopna next week, for their Community Camp ahead of the 2023 AFL season.

For the past two years, AFL clubs have conducted community camps virtually because of the pandemic. This year, the Club will visit communities, meet fans, and inspire the next generation in person.

Richmond players will hold Auskick and Junior X super clinics and signing sessions on Monday afternoon at both Echuca South Oval and Mooroopna Recreation Reserve at 4pm, with all fans welcome.

Locals can meet their favourite players and grab an autograph and photos at both these clinics.

There will also be a chance for the regional Tiger Army to take a photo with Club mascots Sash and Stripes and receive Richmond giveaways.

While in town, Richmond players will also visit Goulburn Valley Health, local participants of the Korin Gamadji Institute and other Indigenous groups, visit schools, and flood-affected farmers and members.

The Goulburn Valley region is significant to Richmond, with the Club’s Next Generation Academy Zone covering the area.

Champion Richmond coach Tom Hafey also cut his teeth coaching in the region, leading Shepparton to three consecutive premierships (1963-65) and recommending local recruits from the area to the Club before being appointed as the Club’s coach for the 1966 season.
