Welcome to Round #1!

We are very excited to welcome everyone to season 2025 this week! After a big off-season with our Summer Development, Pre-Season and Grading Programs, it will be great to have the kids out playing together, enjoying the fun and camaraderie that comes when playing for the mighty PJFC!

This season we are proudly fielding 30 teams, representing 675 members - of which over 200 are girls. 

Registrations have now closed in PlayHQ as most teams have reached capacity. There are some spots still available in the following teams:

• Mixed: Under 9 & 10.

• Boys: Under 16 & U18.

• Girls: Under 14.

Please email Peter Cotter if you have any questions: registrar@prahranjfc.com.au

 ANZAC Day Training Night

Grill’d Training Nights!

This year our training nights are generously supported by our co-principal sponsor Grill’d! 

Friday night training is a great chance for kids to play, learn and be together, while also allowing parents and families to connect and enjoy the positive Club environment. We are delighted that Grill’d share the same vision of connection and ritual and have committed to supporting the Club so significantly.

We encourage all families to make sure they are signed up with Grill’d for the chance to be part of their Mad Bunday initiative! Make sure you share the spoils when your AFL team has a win and support your local Grill’d store in the process!

Coaching & Team Manager Kits

Coaches bags and Team Manager bags will be available to pick up from midday till 6pm on ANZAC Day in the Multi-Purpose Room, on the ground floor of the Toorak Park Pavilion.

Game Jumpers

Our game jumpers have recently been re-badged to proudly display our new sponsors - Nicholas Brooks from Marshall White and Bowens Hardware.

Jumpers presentations will take place at the end of each training session on Friday. Areas will be designated on the night. If your team has a bye for Round 1, jumpers may be issued at a later date (Your Coaches will be in touch if this is the case).

Merchandise

Pre-ordered match shorts and socks will be available for pick up on Friday from midday till 6pm, also in the Toorak Park multi-purpose room. We will also have stock of match shorts and socks available to purchase on the night.

As flagged last weekend with all our merchandise customers, we currently have incoming shipments of pre-purchased training and off-field items. We hope to have as much stock as possible available for collection on Friday, including hoodies, track pants and jackets. We will advise by email when your order is ready for collection.

Once all shipments are received we will have stock of all merchandise items available for purchase throughout the year, either online in our Uniform Shop or from our Friday night merchandise stand, upstairs at Toorak Park (from Round 2).

Mouthguards

All pre-ordered Sport Safe mouth guards will be available for collection on Friday, also in the Toorak Park multi-purpose room.
