About Us
Wests AFL Juniors is a long established, volunteer run AFL club with a family focus. Our goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for kids to become fit and active.
At Wests kids aged 5-18 can learn the great game of AFL and develop kicking, catching and running skills. It’s also a positive and inclusive club where kids make great friendships and connections.
Registration fees are low and include the uniform.
Location
Our home ground is WH Wagener, conveniently located in the Inner West, Ashbury.
History
Wests has a rich history. The senior club was first formed in 1926 and is a vital part of the inner west community. The Western Suburbs Juniors reformed in 1998 and fields girls and boys teams in the Sydney Harbour competition.
Pathway to Senior AFL
Wests AFL Juniors provides a pathway to seniors’ football at the Inner Wests Magpies AFL Club and AFL teams. We are proud of our players who have gone on to play AFL – including Paul Bevan (Sydney Swans), Greg Stafford (Sydney Swans and Richmond), Greg Sharpe (Carlton & St Kilda), Arthur Chillcott (Sydney Swans) and Ella Heads (Sydney Swans) and Jacob Bauer (Richmond).
