Glenorchy Knights Juniors

Glenorchy Knights caters for players in the Under 5 to Under 12 age groups.  We are an inclusive club and accept junior players of all playing levels.

We compete in the Central Region Junior Football Association (CRJFA) roster during the regular season and have training sessions available during the off season.

For players U8 to U12, we offer the Knights Skills Program (KSP) which provides access to regular training sessions with professional and qualified coaches. The aim is to better prepare our players for youth competitions and senior football as they get older.  

We seek to provide an environment where every player feels included, safe and excited to learn and grow and be part of our club community.

How can I help?

Volunteers are always welcome in any capacity.

There are many ways parents, families and friends can get involved:

  • Sponsorship: New sponsors to help subsidise costs and registration fees are always welcome. If you know of any business or company that might be interested to sponsor Knights Juniors, please let us know.

  • Fundraising Fundraising activities are held throughout the season to keep registration fees as low as possible. If you can assist or have ideas, please volunteer when the call goes out.

  • Junior Committee: Members are always needed to coordinate the general running of the club and tasks such as setting up and packing up grounds on a Saturday morning, helping in the canteen, working bees and the end of season presentation. It would be great to have a representative from every team on the Junior committee.

  • Coaches/Team Managers: Our teams need volunteer parents and friends to coach and manage our teams. Support is provided with resources and information to get started along with access to coach training sessions once the season starts. Coaches also receive discounts on player registration if they have a child playing.

Let us know where you can assist.

Some volunteer tasks require a registration to work with vulnerable people.
