Registration open now for 2024 season.

We are a Brisbane Junior AFL club based at Hilder Road State School, 104 Kaloma Rd, The Gap.

We offer:

Auskick – an introductory program of fun, games-based learning for ages 5-12. We hold our 8 week Auskick program on Saturday mornings 8am to 9am from February 24 to April 27, and players can transition straight into Auskick Play footy.

The cost is only $90 and each player receives a great pack of footy goodies from AFL QLD including their very own kid-sized footy!

Auskick Play footy – a first competition format for those aged 5-7 at the start of the calendar year that is ideal for kids who want to keep playing after the Auskick introduction.

Short seasons of competition from mid May.

Junior Footy – the next step for kids who are ready to move on from NAB AFL Auskick or other introductory programs.  With mixed and girls only age-level teams from U8 to U13, the AFL playing rules and team numbers are modified so children can continue to develop their skills in an enjoyable and safe atmosphere. Junior Footy is the perfect environment for kids to have fun learning through play, make new friends and create memories that last a lifetime.

The season runs from April 27 through to the end of August. Games are generally on Saturday mornings with some Friday night games depending on team and age level. There are no games or training during school holidays.

We have a 7 week pre-season training program that is aimed at this year’s U9 to U13 teams. These sessions will include a strength and conditioning coach from Athletix!  Sessions will focus on strength, speed & agility, conditioning, sprint mechanics and skills. We are very excited to partner with Athletix. They are a quality business, trusted by professional sporting teams such as The QLD Bulls. The kids are super lucky to have this opportunity! Our first session will kick off at the Dragons Den on Thurs the 15th of Feb 5pm to 6pm.

Regular season training runs Monday and Wednesday 4.30 to 5.30pm starting Wednesday April 17.

Registration is for both new and returning players of The Gap Dragons JAFC. Returning players should use the same email address as last season, which helps ensure your stats like games played etc. are carried over from previous seasons.

Registration fees range from $150 to $240 depending on your age group.
