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 for the last seven years.

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’ve been part of the Wanneroo JFC committee since 2017, when my son started his first year in Auskick and I stepped into the Auskick Coordinator role. After three successful years in the Auskick role, I took on the Girls Football Coordinator role in 2020, to help support our young girls in the community.

I love being a part of a Committee that wants nothing more than the best for its members and community. I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to watch our players progress over the years from Auskick and beyond.

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.

I’ve been involved with the club for over 12 years when my eldest son started playing Auskick. I have 4 children, all who play football at the club. My eldest in his last year of Junior footy and my youngest in his second year of Auskick. With my daughter and other son in the middle there too!

This is my first year as Auskick Co-ordinator and I’m very excited about the challenge ahead and have lots of new ideas. I can’t wait for Season 2022! I am also a team manager for my son’s Under 18’s Opens team and my son’s Year 4 Mods team which I have done for several years now.

The footy club is a big part of our family with my husband coaching for many years and often coaching several teams each year and my eldest son not only playing, but also coaching and umpiring for West Perth district and amateurs as well. A highlight of my footy journey so far is being a finalist for Volunteer of the Year 2021 for the WA Football Commission Awards.

When I’m not doing my Auskick or Team Manager duties, you will most likely find myself and family down at the club on a Saturday afternoon to watch the Amateurs play with a glass of bubbles in hand.
