There were smiles were all around as Carlton players joined Junior Blues Members for the annual Carlton Junior Member Clinic at Visy Park on Wednesday.

The clinic, which is exclusive to Captain Carlton Junior Members, provides a fantastic opportunity for junior members to meet their favourite players, as well as practise their football skills. 

More than 1,100 Junior Members from across Victoria took part. They spent the day running through their kicking, marking, hand-balling, agility, speed and goal kicking technics.

Students from Sports Education and Development Australia were also there to lend a helping hand.

Carlton's Nick Graham says the day was a great chance to connect with young members and enjoy a kick-to-kick.

"It was fantastic to see so many young Carlton members turn out – they certainly showed plenty of enthusiasm as they ran through some drills with the team," Graham said. 

"Our supporters mean so much to us, so it's important to give back when we can."
