The Brisbane Lions will spend two days in Toowoomba on February 10 and 11 as part of the 2011 Telstra AFL Community Camp.

Toowoomba is a picturesque mountain city located in South-East Queensland and is 127km from Brisbane.

While the finishing touches are still being made on the team's itinerary, there are certain to be plenty of community events and activities involving the entire Lions playing list.

The Telstra AFL Community Camps have become a popular tradition leading into the NAB Cup as clubs visit communities throughout Australia to conduct training sessions, visit schools, nursing homes, hospitals and conduct NAB AFL Auskick clinics.

AFL General Manager National and International Development David Matthews said the camps provide an opportunity to kick off the Australian football season.

“The Telstra AFL Community Camps will see AFL players visit schools, hospitals and football clubs during the countdown to the season," Mr Matthews said.

“It’s a great opportunity for football fans in regional locations to see the players up close as they prepare for Round One."

Telstra’s General Manager for Sponsorship, Reputation, Experiential and PR, Richard Howarth, said, "Telstra is pleased to be able to provide these opportunities for young, up and coming players to get first-hand advice and benefit from the experience and skills of their sporting heroes."

"We see the tremendous boost these camps give to regional communities, and the positive motivating effect they have on young people's interest in their sport."
