Glenorchy Knights Juniors

Glenorchy Knights caters for players in the Under 5 to Under 12 age groups.  We are an inclusive club and accept junior players of all playing levels.

We compete in the Central Region Junior Football Association (CRJFA) roster during the regular season and have training sessions available during the off season.

For players U8 to U12, we offer the Knights Skills Program (KSP) which provides access to regular training sessions with professional and qualified coaches. The aim is to better prepare our players for youth competitions and senior football as they get older.  

We seek to provide an environment where every player feels included, safe and excited to learn and grow and be part of our club community.

How can a player join Knights Juniors?

The Knights Skills Program for U8-U12 players starts on Monday 17 February 2025.

Training for U5-U7 players starts on Wednesday 12 March 2025.

All players start training together in their age groups, before being formed into teams and coaches found.  Team training sessions will start in March, once the teams have been finalized. 

More information will be available closer to the start date.  There is nothing more to do until the sessions start.

What teams will there be in 2025?

Glenorchy Knights are looking to enter teams in all age groups from U5 to U12. 

In 2024, we had 19 junior teams competing in all age groups including three all-girl teams playing in the U7, U9 and U11 age groups. 

Teams can be mixed or all-girl. Depending on numbers, we are keen to increase our number of all-girl teams in 2025!
