PRIVATE JESS FOSTER

Serving her country as well as the Aussie Rules cause, Private Jess Foster of the Army Reserve, coaches footy for toddlers and young girls in her civilian career, whilst kicking goals on field for her Army & civilian AFL Clubs.



'It's a juggle but well worth it, two weeks getting paid as an Army Reservist and to be playing with these amazing girls is just awesome. Some of the girls haven't played AFL before – they've learnt a lot, it's a very supportive environment.'
