Within seconds of unwrapping a boot load of new equipment on Friday, a horde of Griffith's little Auskickers were literally leaping for joy.

The gear was donated by the National Australia Bank, which came to the aid of Griffith Auskick after much of the group's training equipment was stolen from a locked trailer at Exies Oval in May.

Local Auskick co-ordinator Paul Foley said the equipment ? including tackling bags and a handball target ? would play a vital part in helping introduce the magic of Australian Rules to a new generation of players.

"There are already 100 local kids in this program and we're likely to grow even more next year because we're introducing under 9s," Foley said.

"We really need these extra resources to help grow the game long-term in Griffith.

"The kids will really benefit from this donation and we're very grateful to NAB."

In June, Bunnings and the AFL replaced the 50-odd footballs stolen during the break-in.

Griffith National Australia Bank branch manager Sandy Meyer said the bank was "delighted" to be able to replace the other training equipment.

"National Australia Bank is already the major sponsor of Auskick and it's great to be able to support the program even more through this," she said.

"The fact it's keeping kids active and helping them grow their skills is very encouraging."

The Auskick program is open to children between five and 10 years old and helps develop the basic skills of the game.

Despite it running for just a few years in Griffith, Foley said the program's first alumni had already progressed into the Griffith Swans junior ranks.

"Our aim is to continue that growth into the senior football club," he said.
