NAFC Scholarship program.

Interesting to read that young Mildura footballer Sam Simmonds has been awarded an SANFL Scholarship with the North Adelaide FC.

The young lad will play in North Adelaide's U/18 Team and complete his schooling at Blackfriars college. Sounds like a pretty good deal!

That's a terrific initiative by North.

I've often wondered if something like this might happen, but thought finances wouldn't allow it.

It might be something the wealthier clubs might do oftennow.

Don't clubs like West, Eagles, Port Magpies do this type of thing with kids at Henley High? Or is that a Henley initiative as opposed to the SANFL club?

Henley HS markets itself as an AFL academy school like Adelaide HS market LOTE (Langauges other than english) and Cricket
