With modified rules and game structures, Junior Football competition provides all children with equal opportunity to experience playing AFL under an assigned coach in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Junior Football is for children in school years 3 – 6, or ages seven to twelve. Junior competitions are structured to ensure that children will only play with their own year group. For Girls Only competitions, there may still be mixed-year competitions. 

Youth Football is for years 7 – 12, and provides participants with the opportunity to play in a graded competition within a club environment. Youth football is a chance to play football with friends, with a focus on team building.

Girls are able to play in the mixed gender competition until the age of 14, or the year 9 competition. Where possible, it is encouraged that girls play in the single gender competition.
