Then, on Thursday, the players will spend time with students and community members in various remote communities throughout Central Australia.

Richmond partners with Dick Smith to operate the ‘Outback Tigers’ program in Central Australian schools.  The Outback Tigers program aims to boost student attendance through regular school visits by program officers based in Alice Springs, web-cam sessions with Richmond players, visits by players during the year and a Dick Smith rewards program.

Both Richmond and Dick Smith are committed to providing opportunities for the Indigenous community, and operate the program all year round.

As part of the community camp, Richmond will play the Indigenous All Stars on Friday night (February 8), at Traeger Park in Alice Springs.

The game will be streamed live on the Club’s website (richmondfc.com.au) at 7pm Central Standard Time (8.30pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time).
