Fitzroy Junior Football Club are currently recruiting to all of our Junior footy teams, and in particular hoping to encourage more female players aged between 7 and 12 years old.  

 

Footy is a great way to meet new friends, have fun, grow in confidence, develop new skills, learn about leadership, teamwork and resilience, and for families to feel a closer connection to their local community.  

 

We have our Welcome Day coming up at Brunswick St Oval, Edinburgh Gardens, on Sunday 23rd Feb between 9am and 12pm.  Pre-season training sessions for our younger age groups are commencing from Sunday 16th Feb, and we would like to invite anyone interested to come along to try it out.  Parents are welcome to reach out to me directly with any enquiries or to express their interest.
