Watch this space...

Works have begun on the Renovations!

We're excited to see some progress to the club rooms underway, it's been a long time coming!

The AJFC ask that you be careful around the grounds during this phase and be respectful of the games going on during this time.

It might be a nuisance to walk "the long way around" to get where you're going however, please avoid going on the ground during game play to take a short cut.

It is for your safety as much as the Players and Umpires.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

U15 Girls Team Building Night

On Friday night, Abbey Brown (U15 Girls Coach) held a Team Building Night.

Abbey organised the night, which included activities to help the girls continue to learn about themselves and their team mates. The activities fostered building trust and learning about each other’s strengths and goals.

Well Done Girls!
