The Yarra Junior Football League Executive management team welcomes all players, families and friends to the 2010 season.

The League is now in its 14th year and we will have 31 clubs and in excess of 320 teams.  We are very fortunate to have a large contingent of volunteers working around the clubs to ensure that we provide the best possible environment for our kids to play football.  To all those volunteers, thank you for your efforts,  and we look forward to working closely with you during 2010.

The season is scheduled to commence on Sunday 11th April, and this is always subject to the condition and availability of playing venues.  The League ground at Bulleen Park is in excellent condition and we look forward to the completion of our new sports pavilion and League headquarters, and we are hopeful of being able to take up occupancy in March.

In 2010 we will be fielding four teams (two Under 15 and two Under 14) in the Metropolitan Junior Championships run by AFL Victoria, and we will also run Interleague teams (two Under 13 and two Under 12) against the Northern Football League.  We also intend to take a representative team on an interstate football trip, details of which will be available in due course.

The usual Tackers Day will be held at Bulleen Park and neighbouring ovals on Sunday 16th May.  This has always been a fantastic day for the kids and we look forward to its growing success.

As you are all aware, Bob Rennison retired as President in November 2009 and we are all grateful for Bob's contribution over the past 11 years at the helm.  He has steered the League through massive growth in that time, but has always retained the basic principle that we provide every kid with the opportunity to play football in the best possible environment - a philosophy which must continue indefinitely.
