WHAT IS COMPETITIVE JUNIORS?
Competitive Juniors is the next step up from non-competitive juniors – and is for all Boys & Girls aged 12 – 17! Competitive juniors adds the competitive game elements of AFL football, whilst still focusing on core values such as fun, involvement, and skill development for all players.
Competitive elements added for competitive juniors matches include the addition of match scoring and tackling, plus the removal of field zoning from previous age groups. Field size, match-length, and the number of players per team will also increase.
WHEN IS TRAINING?
Training schedules for the 2026 season will likely commence in April. However Pre-Season training will most likely start in early February
WHEN ARE GAMES?
Games will commence early May, and will run every week (excluding school holidays and Kings Birthday long weekend), until end of August. Finals will be played in early September. Ainslie Junior’s home games are at Reid Oval 1, however our junior teams will play at other venues throughout the Canberra region.
