G’day and welcome to Footy 9s!

Our Footy 9s program has been designed to bring people and communities together. Lockdown in Melbourne has been hard for everyone, and having a kick of the footy with your mates, both old and new, is a great way to beat the blues.

Our objective is not only to play footy and have fun, but also to enhance both the physical and mental well-being of all participants.

Just some of the many advantages of playing Footy 9s include:

  • representing your community – pulling on your national jumper is an experience you will never forget.
  • improving your physical health – Footy 9s is an ideal sport for improving your fitness, speed and core strength.
  • enhancing your mental health – a healthy body is a healthy mind, and vice versa.
  • meeting new people and forming new friendships – our training sessions are attended by people from many different communities and you will meet some great people.

SEE YOU SOON FOR A KICK OF THE FOOTY!
