Jayden Schofield relaunches Starkick and Footy For All programs through new role for disadvantaged athletes
Football has taken Jayden Schofield all over Australia from playing in the AFL to delivering Chapman Valley's first flag in 32 years, but now the talented local wants to give back to the sport he loves. Working for Country Footy WA, Schofield has been appointed regional football specialist for the Mid West with the 33-year-old turning his attention to the positive impact that football can have on people's lives. Schofield has developed an all abilities program for children and young adults between the ages of five to 17, with the aim to give children with intellectual and physical disabilities the chance to play football. Starkick will get under way this Saturday at GBSC Sports Park alongside Auskick and is a great opportunity for kids to get involved in everything the sport has to offer. Schofield said his goal was to get as many young people involved in football as possible as he looked to the future of all abilities football in WA and the Mid West. 'Last year I think we had about 14 kids, so my aim is to double it,' he said. 'Maybe not in the first session but over the six weeks we are running it, we hope to get the numbers up to 30 plus. 'It's all about participation for anyone who wants to get involved in footy. 'Our motto for Starkick is 'if you want to play, we'll find a way' so we are really trying to go back to those roots of just playing for enjoyment and the things that come with playing football socially.' Schofield is also running another program in partnership with ATLAS targeted at older ages from 12 years up called Footy For All, which will be held at The Rec on Monday, June 9. Footy For All is an inclusion masterclass, encouraging older children living with disabilities to get involved, play with their mates and enjoy football. Hoping to double numbers from last year's season of Footy For All, Schofield is determined to get as many athletes involved in football in the Mid West. 'Footy has given me everything in my life,' the former Western Bulldogs player said. 'It's given me friends, community and family, so without footy in my life I'd be nothing. 'My goal is to pass that on to people that want to get involved and show them that they can get involved no matter what obstacles they may face. 'I have learnt that footy can be so beneficial, not just playing it but the things it can bring you, it can give you so much. 'That's why we want to give back and give people who might not feel as though they have the opportunity in the sport and show them that there is a place for them to play.' Starkick begins this Saturday, June 7 at GBSC Sports Park from 8.30am to 9.30am while Footy For All starts on Monday, June 9 at the Rec from 4pm to 5pm.

Community invited to have say on Rising Tide's plans for 2025 climate action
THE community is being invited to have their say on this year's Rising Tide event months out from the November start date. As well as occupying Camp Shortland near Horseshoe Beach in Newcastle East, this year the group is applying to use Hamilton North's Richardson Park, opposite the showground. Riding Tide community organiser Zack Schofield said the change was being made out of respect for the residents of Newcastle East and to ensure people had a safe and stable place to stay. "But we are still planning to hold a big event at Camp Shortland on the Saturday night with free live music, which was a big draw card last year," Mr Schofield said. An estimated 7,000-plus people participated and attended the 2024 event, involving more than 900 volunteers, Mr Schofield said. "Our hope is that it will be much bigger again this year," Mr Schofield said. "It grew substantially from 2023 to 2024, and I think that reflects public opinion both in Newcastle and around Australia about what it's gonna take to tackle the looming transition." The coal industry needs to be taxed more to fund that transition, and that was the group's key message, he said. City of Newcastle Lord Mayor Ross Kerridge said it was important for the community to have their say on the event. "I know that there are strong views in the community about Rising Tide's People's Blockade and the associated protest activity, so we are seeking clear feedback during the public notice period," Cr Kerridge said. "Councillors will then consider the proposed event after the close of the public notice period. This could include possible camping and activation of Richardson Park, and consideration of a concert in Camp Shortland. "Council intends to consider this matter with several months' notice prior to the planned event to give organisers and the community a level of certainty." Rising Tide is an ambitiously active climate action organisation that is calling for an end to new coal and gas approvals and a 78 per cent tax on coal and gas exports to fund the energy transition. Its plans for 2025 include setting up amusement rides, live performances and live music at both Camp Shortland and Richardson Park, as well as camping at the Hamilton North site. There have been 13 blockades in the Newcastle Harbour since 2006, with the intent to block the shipping channel given Newcastle Harbour's unique position as the world's largest coal port. The community can have their say by emailing their feedback to events@ from Monday, June 2, until the end of the month. City of Newcastle has formally declared a climate emergency and has committed to the Paris Agreement, and adopted a target of net zero emissions from its operations by 2030.
