CLUB HISTORY
The Parkside Junior Football Club was formed in 2005 by the Committee of the Alphington-Fairfield Auskick clinic as a result of strong demand from families seeking a junior football pathway in the local community around Pitcher Park in Alphington.
The Club started with its first Tackers team in the Yarra Junior Football League in the 2006 season. It has since added new teams each year and now fields 16 teams from Under 8s to Colts including 5 Girls' teams with just over 350 players.
The Club celebrated its first two premierships in 2012 with the Under 12s and Under 15s both winning their grand finals.
The Club is also affiliated with the Alphington-Fairfield Auskick clinic, which has over 150 participants.
The Club is looking to continue to build a solid foundation to ensure a prosperous future.
