It's 2018! Pre-season Training to begin next week & Meet the Coaches for 2018

Welcome to 2018!!!

The AJFC hope you have all had an enjoyable Summer break. However, it's time to prepare for the Season ahead...

Dust off your Boots,Vikings!

 Pre-Season Training 2018

Due to the growing number of teams, and limited available sporting grounds during the summer period, pre-season training will take place on various grounds for some age groups until all the clubs football grounds become available. To accommodate our need for multiple training grounds the council have approved alternative training locations at the Altona Green Primary School, as well as limited space at the club ovals until the end of summer & cricket season. Once all club ovals become available, all age groups will train back on the club ovals throughout normal season. We will communicate any changes for normal season training once council approval has been provided for all club grounds.
