The Collingwood players will head to Wangaratta, Tennant Creek and the City of Monash for its 2017 AFL Community Camp.

The Magpies will spend 21, 22 and 23 February in the rural and suburban regions, staging training sessions, clinics and school visits as the club immerses itself in the local communities.

The Camps will take place between the club's first two matches of the AFL pre-season.

Simon Lethlean, the AFL's General Manager Game and Market Development, says the Community Camps are an important way for players to give back to local communities.

"The Australia Post AFL Community Camps allow us to highlight the connection Australian Football has with communities right around the country,” Mr Lethlean said.

"Community Camps are the perfect platform for fans, no matter where they live across our wide country, access to their favourite players.

"Many of the clubs have also aligned their Australia Post AFL Community Camp locations to their Next Generation AFL Club Academies.

"The academies are designed to utilise the strength of clubs to grow and develop our game, and ensure it’s representative, inclusive and embraces gender and cultural diversity,” he said.
