Fremantle will welcome 16 Live the Dream participants next Wednesday 18 July when the exciting program, which is proudly supported by Decmil Australia, gets underway.

Live the Dream is a once in a lifetime opportunity for 16 young Australians to become immersed in the culture of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club and ‘live the life’ of an AFL player for five days.

Live the Dream offers participants a rare opportunity to develop skills and behaviours that can deliver long-term benefits to the individual and their local community.

The program runs from 18-22 July and thanks to Decmil Australia, the cost of the program for the participants is free, including meals, accommodation and apparel.

Eight Fremantle Dockers’ players will act as mentors for the boys during the program.

Meet Jordan Garic, one of the lucky young men who has been given the opportunity to ‘Live the Dream’.

Jordan is a 16-year-old from Hamilton Hill who attends Christian Brothers College (CBC) and plays for our partner club, the Fremantle City Dockers.

He said he hoped to learn a lot about professionalism during his Live the Dream experience.

“I can’t wait to learn about conditioning and nutrition in professional sport,” Jordan said.

“I think it could help me a lot.

“I also think I can become better at leadership, which is important in football, any sport and everyday life.”
