| Another successful Tacker's Day. Welcome to Yarra Junior Football League | | | The President and YJFL Executive welcome parents and players to season 2009The Yarra Junior Football League was formed in 1997 through amalgamation of the former Doncaster & Districts Junior Football League and the Hawthorn Districts Junior Football League and is now one of the largest Junior Leagues in Melbourne.In 2009 the League will comprise 32 Clubs fielding over 300 teams that play throughout the season on a Sunday with some night games on a Friday evening. We welcome new Clubs to the League in 2009: Ashburton, Boroondara Hawks and Brunswick. Additionally, Glen Iris will be fielding all their teams in the Yarra League in 2009. It is envisaged that there will be total of 32 competitions covering all Age Groups up to Colts (Under 16/17 years combined Age Group) and including Tackers (Under 9 years) modified rules competitions where young players are introduced to Club football in a non competitive environment.The Large number of teams in the League allows grading of teams within each age group (excluding Tackers) so that each team, as far as is possible, plays in a grade that is commensurate with the team’s ability. Grading games are played in Rounds 1 – 4 to determine if the Grade (Section) for all teams should be varied for the remainder of the season.Commencement of 2009 SeasonIt is planned that the 2009 season commence on 19th April. This is of course subject to the condition / availability of playing venues. We all hope that the grounds recover from the extremely hot weather experienced in late January so that the season can start as planned.If you would like to obtain more information about the Yarra Junior Football League please contact the League’s Administration Manager David Boyd (Phone: 94702884 or Email: admin@yarrajfl.org.au). |
