2025 Adelaide Footy League - Division 7

[Dutchy]

Juniors are not a short-term goal at this stage as we simply don't have the numbers from a volunteers or off field infrastructure perspective.

Our strategy is more about building the club back up, attracting more people getting more help, getting the fundamentals right and then starting to add on from there. We'd be looking at starting Juniors, maybe in 3 to 5 years perhaps.

This is a point of contention though and I know many at the club disagree with me.

Understandable, its a minimum 10 year journey once you start and everyone needs to be on board to stay the course, its a lot easier to say it than execute it.

As a former Mitchell Park junior (U16's for a couple of years), hope you can get it back up and going.

Using one of the neighbouring clubs as an example, it took a long time for Marion to get their juniors to the point it is now, and they still don't have teams in all the grades
