My first interaction with the club was as a young boy, playing 12 years of Junior Football. I then returned with my son 15 years later, when he started Auskick. I began coaching his team from Year 1 and have continued to do so throughout his football career at Wanneroo JFC.

My oldest daughter played in the Women’s spring carnivals and my younger sons are playing in Auskick and Mods. The club has a great family culture, focusing on players of all ages and encouraging their siblings, parents & grandparents to come down and to get involved. It’s amazing to be part of a club that offers so many opportunities and so much support to its players and members.

I hope to see you down at this club this season!

I have been proudly associated with the Wanneroo Junior Football club since 2015, with my son Eli starting his footy career in Auskick. After joining Wanneroo JFC, we quickly realised we had joined a club passionate about its players.

I am currently an assistant coach of one of our Mod’s teams and I now serve on the committee as the Treasurer and Sponsorship Coordinator. Personally, I am involved in a small local finance business, I am married to Melanja (a Team Manager at the club) and I have 2 kids Eli and a daughter Emmee.

I have two boys who both started their love for footy with the Wanneroo Junior Football Club as little Auskickers. Both have now moved on to play juniors. I currently manage my eldest son's team and my husband is the assistant coach, we have done this for the past 3 years. I absolutely love seeing all the kids out there playing their hearts out, you'll often find me mothering the boys on the bench with a blanket or hand warmers when it's cold! In 2023 I decided to join the committee, I want to be part of something that I believe in and I believe in this club wholeheartedly.

Coffee fueled Mum of 5, juggling chaos with kids in Auskick, Junior & Youth teams.

Our family has been part of Wanneroo JFC since 2014

Stepping into the team manager role in 2019 was a reluctant decision, but now I cant give it up - love those kids!

Committee member for 3 years & taking on the Registrar role really opened my eyes to the incredible dedication of our volunteers.

Honoured that Wjfc were crazy enough to award me Club Volunteer of the Year - 2023. Bring on the 2024 season!

We joined Wanneroo JFC in 2014 when my eldest started Auskick.

I provided first aid support for my boys' teams until 2021, then proudly stepped up as Team Manager for my eldest.

I first joined the committee in 2022, as social media coordinator. in 2023 i added Auskick Coordinator to the mix which i currently still occupy.

So grateful to have been recognized as the Youth Team Manager of the Year in 2023, Club Person & West Perth district Auskick Coordinator of the Year for 2024 .

Wade Chitty

Coach Coordinator

We’ve been involved in the club for the past 9 years, with 3 of my 4 children playing in teams currently. Our family has always been actively involved in some capacity since joining, I’ve held positions on the committee previously (including this role a few years back) and have coached my son’s team for a number of years.
I love spending weekends watching as many games as possible, and seeing the development of the kids as they grow.
I’m looking forward to helping the coaches get as much out of the 2024 season as they can, to have a positive year with all our players.
