Junior Under 13 to Under 17
Building a well-rounded player with character, drive and teamwork.
Coaching of the young players is a key part of the Club’s philosophy. We believe that players of all abilities should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. We want the training to be productive and skills based, but most of all enjoyable for the players and conducted in a supportive environment. We aim to provide a dedicated qualified non-parent coach for all of our junior teams.
Players participate in various divisions of the Football West competition. Games are on Sunday mornings, with training and home games are play at Mount Claremont Oval and UWA Sports Park.
Football West organises teams from all clubs into different divisions according to playing strength. For this reason, players are assessed by our qualified coaches at the pre-season training sessions and placed into appropriate teams.
UWANFC offers both Junior Academy, Junior Development, and Junior Recreational teams, depending on player numbers.
