The Healesville Junior Football club exists to give every child the chance to play, belong and grow through sport. We are a true grass-roots club, run by volunteers and supported by families who believe football should be fun, inclusive and affordable.

To make this possible, we deliberately keep our membership fees as low as we can. This ensures that cost is not a barrier for families and that all kids who want to play footy get the opportunity to do so. However, those fees do not fully cover the real costs of running the club.

Each season we face significant operating expenses such as tenancy, league fees, electricity and lighting, equipment, insurance and match-day costs just to name a few. These essentials are what allow us to safely put teams on the field every week.

By raising funds to cover these core operating costs, we can keep participation affordable for families and ensure the club remains strong and sustainable. We can also redirect our sponsor dollars towards improving our facilities for all players and families. This support helps us continue to provide a safe, welcoming environment where young players can learn skills, build confidence, form friendships and develop a lifelong love of the game.
