Junior Football 2021 Information: Boys and Girls

PLAYER COACH - BRENDAN MCCARTNEY JOINS THE DRAGONS

This season Brendan McCartney will continue to lend his years of experience to the coaching development of our Junior Coaches and support all players across our Junior boys and girls from U9 thorugh to Colts. As a former AFL coach and ex-development and strategy coach of the Melbourne Football Club we are excited to have such expertise in our Club. Brendan will pave the way with a one club approach, teaching the skills needed in a sequential program building on AFL match play drills with increased complexity, throughout the age groups.

OUR MISSION

We aim to provide a safe and friendly environment for all, that is educative and creates social opportunities for participant’s development, as well as providing a program that enables ALL individuals to experience personal achievement, building competence, enhanced self-esteem, social cooperation, maximum participation and skill development in a FUN environment.

JUNIOR LAUNCH

We will start the season with a “Junior Launch” night on Friday 12th of March at 5.00pm. Apart from the Sausage Sizzle to enjoy, there will be many coaches on hand to join the Juniors for some fun training drills and activities. We will have our annual boot swap so bring down those footy boots that no longer fit (Please give them a scrub prior) Any Auskickers are also welcome to come along and join in the night.
