Welcome
Welcome to the Carindale Cougars Junior Australian Football Club.
At the Cougars, we welcome boys and girls of all abilities and experience to have fun playing footy.
Our focus is on player enjoyment and skill development while respecting our team mates, fellow players, coaches, and umpires.
Established in 1994, we have a proud 28-year history at our home ground at Belmont State School located on the corner of Scrub Road and Bridgnorth Street, Carindale.
The Cougars offer teams for girls and boys from Under 6 (Superstars Junior Footy) to Under 11 (Footy4fun). AFLQ Junior rules allow positive participation so each player receives a fair and equal opportunity to learn and develop football skills within a supportive and encouraging environment.
Our Auskick program for boys and girls aged 5 to 12 years starts around the middle of Term 1 2024(Exact dates to be announced) after school and runs for 8 weeks. Kids can come and try this great program and have fun before the footy season starts. Parent/carer attendance is not a necessity but encouraged if you are available.
The season starts in Term 2 2024 and finishes around the middle of Term 3 with a break for school holidays. Games are played on Saturday mornings at our home ground and other grounds in our surrounding suburbs. Training is on either Tuesdays or Thursday afternoons depending on age group and starts on Tuesday 19th March 2024.
Parents and carers of girls and boys interested in playing for the Cougars can contact our Club President Jason Moule at carindalecougarspresident@gmail.com
As we are a not for profit club, the Cougars depend upon help from our families and supporters to provide a quality service to all our players. We encourage volunteers to keep our friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the club.
