Welcome to the West Ivanhoe Roosters
Based at Seddon Reserve, Ivanhoe, the West Ivanhoe Roosters are your local community Junior Footy club, welcoming families from Ivanhoe and beyond. We’re big believers that sporting clubs bring people together, fostering strong bonds within local communities.
Our Club’s values are reflected in all our footy programs - providing young footballers with an opportunity to:
have fun;
develop their skills;
participate in a team sport in an inclusive, family-based environment;
build a culture of respect towards participants, officials, families and spectators alike.
We warmly welcome all genders and all abilities to join us, and hope to see you down at the Roosters Nest soon!
OUR FOOTY PROGRAMS
NAB AFL Auskick makes learning to play AFL fun, safe and easy for boys and girls. It is a limited contact program, and through weekly coaching sessions kids will learn the skills of the game in an exciting, social and safe environment.
We offer mixed Auskick on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings throughout the footy season, at locations in both West Ivanhoe and Heidelberg Heights, as well as our popular Girls Only Auskick on Friday evenings at Seddon Reserve!
JUNIOR FOOTY
The West Ivanhoe Roosters compete in the Northern Football Netball League (NFNL).
In 2025, the Roosters are fielding Junior Football teams from Under 9’s through to Under 16’s. Depending on age group, there is limited contact, modified rules, and reduced ground size.
While many of our players come through the Auskick program, we welcome new players into all age groups.
ALL GENDERS & ALL ABILITIES WELCOME
CONCUSSION POLICY
