why join edithvale aspendale junior football club?
More Than Just Football
Being part of Edithvale Aspendale Junior Football Club is about more than results on the scoreboard. We help young people build character, leadership, respect and determination — qualities that last well beyond their junior football years.
Clear Pathways for Ambitious Players
For those who want to take their football further, we provide strong development pathways and connections within the wider football community, supporting players to progress while remaining connected to their local club.
A Connected Club Community
At Edithvale Aspendale Junior Football Club, we’re proud of the strong community we’ve built. Every player is valued and supported, whether they’re pulling on the boots for the first time or returning for another big season. Here, you’re not just joining a team — you’re becoming part of the Eagle family.
Coaching That Inspires Growth
Our coaches are passionate about developing well-rounded players. We nurture skills, confidence, teamwork and resilience, creating an environment where every child has the opportunity to learn, improve and thrive.
Positive, Player-First Environment
Footy should be exciting, inclusive and fun. We create an atmosphere where players look forward to training and game day, building friendships and unforgettable memories along the way.
who are we?
Everyone wants to be #1 — and at EAJFC, that’s exactly what we strive for. We’re proud to provide a safe, inclusive and fun environment where young players can learn, grow and fall in love with Aussie Rules football.
Our commitment to respect, inclusivity and strong club culture is reflected in our status as a Women & Girls Chartered Club, and in 2025 we were honoured to be named Best Conducted Club by the Frankston District Junior Football League.
This prestigious award recognises the tireless efforts of our committee, volunteers, coaches, players and families. It’s a testament to a season defined by growth, community connection and the shared pride of everyone who wears the EAJFC colours.
EAJFC competes in the Frankston District Junior Football League, fielding teams from Under 8s through to Under 17s, as well as our growing Under 18 Girls competition. Girls football continues to thrive at our club, with seven girls teams proudly taking the field in 2026 — and more on the way. With nearly 700 junior player registrations in 2026, EAJFC is one of the largest junior football clubs in Victoria.
In 2027, we look forward to welcoming more than 700 children back to the club as they continue their football journey in a supportive, community-focused environment.
Our club is powered by passionate volunteers and valued sponsors. Without their support, we couldn’t provide the opportunities, sense of belonging and purpose that make EAJFC such a special place.
If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
