About

2026 Presidents Welcome

On behalf of the Committee, players and members of the Whittlesea Junior Football Club, I would like to welcome you to our Club for the 2026 season.

Our Club aims to provide a fun, inclusive and supportive environment where members can learn, play and develop their skills in Australian Rules Football.

We are equally committed to creating a positive and safe experience for all players, families, spectators and the opposition clubs we host throughout the season.

In 2026, we will field 15 teams across the Under 9 to Under 17 age groups for boys, along with five girls’ teams in the Under 10, Under 12, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18 age groups. We are incredibly proud to see the continued growth of our girls’ program, and it is especially exciting to again field an Under 18 Girls team this season, a fantastic reflection of how far female football has come within our Club. Our Club proudly welcomes players of all skill levels.

We play our home games at the Showgrounds (or as we like to call it, “The Nest”) and at Walker Reserve. If you or someone you know is interested in playing with us, our club proudly welcomes players of all skill levels, so please reach out!

Thank you for choosing to be part of our Club. We look forward to a fantastic 2026 season together. Go Eagles!

Josh Nixon
