Name: Bailey Carter

Age: 9

Club: Penrith GIANTS

Bailey graduated from Auskick in season two of 2017 after four years as an Auskicker. He now plays with the under 10s team for Penrith GIANTS.

Bailey has multiple spectrum disorders and anxiety, but footy is the best therapy. He loves playing footy with his teammates, collecting footy cards and helping out the current Auskick and Kickability teams on field when they play at half-time or special events.

Bailey's AFL allegiances lie with St Kilda, but the GIANTS are his second team.

When things get tough for Bailey on the football field, his teammates and coaches help him and he always gets back out there after some encouragement.

He was recently awarded 'moment of the week' last month after taking a tackle from a kid twice his size and getting back on the field soon after.
