Club Mission

Our mission at the Ormond Junior Football Club is to provide kids of all abilities a safe, supportive and inclusive environment which develops, promotes and encourages participation in Australian Rules Football. Our club programs include:

  • Girls Program - Ormond JFC has a dedicated Girls Development Program including specialised coaching.
  • Development Program - Ormond JFC offers players additional Skills Development programs free of charge.
  • Mentor Program - We believe in supporting and developing our players through our Mentor Program.
  • Fair Go Footy - The Ormond Fair Go Footy program enables players with disabilities to play footy.


History

Since its humble beginnings in the 1959, the Club has won 39 Premierships and produced 13 VFL/AFL players including great players such as Steve Smith who played 203 games for Melbourne, Matty Robbins who played 7 games for Geelong and 139 games for Western Bulldogs, and current Melbourne Captain/Premiership player Max Gawn and current players Sam Frost (Hawthorn) and Jack Higgins (St Kilda).


Current state

The Ormond Junior Football Club (OJFC) shares the EE Gunn Reserve and its pavilion during the football season with the Ormond Amateur Football Club (OAFC). The beautiful reserve features two football ovals that are utilised by 500 children, teenagers, young adults and their families every week during the football season.


However, there are some major capital improvements required to address some ongoing challenges to the full enjoyment of playing Australian Rules Football at EE Gunn. That is, we require barrier nets to prevent balls from going into the car park, which creates personal and property risk, whilst slowing down the flow of a game. Additionally, our electronic score board often fails and is in need of replacement. We would also like to replace thin goal post pads for the junior oval with thicker and safer versions.


The OJFC and the OAFC are both committed to raising funds and will jointly initiate and fund the necessary capital improvements to unlock the full potential and enjoyment of Australian Rules Football at EE Gunn Reserve.
