The story began with one man and his passion for ‘Footy’...
Emile Studham, a Phys Ed teacher from the small country town of Wonthaggi in Victoria, Australia fell in love with Canada during in his hay days studying Kinesiology at Western University, London, Ontario.

But it wasn’t until 2003, that Studham was offered an opportunity to return to Canada to take-over from the great work of the OAFL volunteers to run the first Junior Development Program for FOOTY. With Studham’s expert health and fitness background along with his advanced study in Education, he developed a Schools and Camps Footy Clinic Program - Auskick-Canada (AKC). The Program launched with solid success, enabling 11,200 participants to enjoy the very unique sporting experience that Aussie Rules Footy provides North American children (and adults alike). In 9 months the program visited 15 schools and 30 summer camps throughout Toronto and surrounding cities such as London and Mississauga.

In 2004 Studham returned to Australia to further advance his experience in Education and working with kids. Over the next four years Studham brought amazing results and developed many exciting initiatives for his students....Mr. S was a hit!

The Aussie X is born....
In 2007 Studham’s dream of starting Junior Leagues of Aussie Rules Footy around the
world was still alive and kicking. He realized he had to follow this dream, and that there was no better place to do so but in the country he calls his 2nd home, Canada.

Wheels in motion and full steam ahead, Studham arrived in Toronto ready to embark on this exciting journey. With his partner Kaela Bree alongside, it was the perfect match!

With much more experience under his belt, Studham revamped the Footy Program to create solid step-by-step skills instructions and lesson plans. With the power of Studham & Bree’s minds combined they discovered the avenue to also offer two other very popular Australian sports of Cricket and Netball. Studham & Bree’s passion for entertainment & keeping ALL who participate engaged found them focusing on the entire eXperience of the programs. Their move to include funny Aussie facts, sayings, lingo and education about the unique land from Downunder that is Australia culminated in the creation of the ultimate Aussie sporting eXperience thus in June of 2008, The Aussie X was born.
