The program - which focuses on fun and skills development - is set to launch during term two of school, however, parents are invited to attend a registration and information day at George Park 1 on Wednesday, March 24, from 4-6pm.
Bathurst Giants treasurer Liz Symes said the Kickability program is being launched for the first time.
"This is the first time we're doing Kickability and we're all very excited as a committee. There's been a lot of discussion about doing this," she said.

"We're lucky we have a lot of people on the committee that have a disability support background.
"There's a huge lack of teams like this is the Central West and I don't there's any in Bathurst."
Symes said there's been a huge amount of interest in Kickability already, explaining that the program is like Auskick, in that games will be played on modified fields.
The Kickability program is expected to run on Wednesdays from 4-5pm, commencing on April 28.
Cost for the program is $100 and parents can use the Active Kids voucher, which would remove any financial costs.
On registering, players will be provided with their own jersey too.
