The Junior Griffin Program is designed to give young children a fun and engaging introduction to football. The focus is on enjoyment, building confidence and learning the key fundamentals of the game, including kicking, handballing, marking and teamwork.
The program is similar to Auskick, however it is delivered by a specialised training provider rather than parents, in a structured and supportive football environment. This allows children to learn and participate at their own pace, while parents are welcome to relax in the clubrooms.
Junior Griffin is ideal for children not yet eligible for Under 8s competition football. Please note that to be eligible for Under 8s, a player must turn seven years old by 30 April in the year they commence competition.
Sessions run on Friday afternoons at Lebanon Reserve and follow the same principles as our Under 8 program, with age appropriate adjustments made to suit younger players.
Our aim is to ensure every Junior Griffin has the opportunity to participate, have fun, improve their skills and feel part of the Strathmore Football Club community. The program provides a great pathway for children new to the sport, those who may miss out on competition teams due to numbers, and younger siblings of players already involved at the club.
