Read the Sharks JFC Annual Report for Season 2021 now!
Congratulations to the Sharks Poppy Broadbent, winner of the NABL AFL Auskicker of the Year!
The Senior club have family passes for all Sharks families to gain free entry to all home games at Domeney for Season 2022.
The Sharks take on Vermont this weekend at Domeney. It’s a great opportunity to catch up with friends and family while enjoying great football and the new rooms at Domeney.
To get your free pass please contact your team manager.
As we reach the end of what has been a busy four weeks of grading, I would like to thank the committee, coaches, team managers, parents and players who have been so patient over the past few weeks.
Countless hours have been dedicated to this process. We have been working closely with the Yarra Junior Football league (YJFL) to ensure that all our teams play the remainder of the season at a level that is appropriate for their ability. By going through this rigorous process it means that each team will be with the other teams of similar ability making it a fair and competitive season ahead.
We look forward to getting to season really going now and wish everyone good luck as we head into round 5. Go Sharks!
After 6 years on the Sharks committee, Dean Prest stepped down from his role as Director of Football.
Being part of any community club committee is one of the most rewarding roles of all. Friendships are made and that feeling of contributing back to the community is priceless.
He has been an integral and valued member of the Sharks and have helped make important decisions and changes both on and off the field. He has added so much value to the club in his time as a member of the committee. The committee is sincerely grateful for Dean’s tireless contribution over the past few years.
Dean isn’t going far as he will continue his role as coach for the Under 13 team. We wish Dean and his team a successful season ahead. Thank you Dean!
(Please note that Michael James has taken on the role as interim Director of Football)
Mother’s Day Fun – Warran Glen Café and Nursey have generously donated a voucher for every team! On Sunday team managers will have the vouchers and raffle tickets. Every mum is to be given a raffle ticket and the chance to win a Warran Glen voucher

Family Burger Night – After 2 years of COVID, we are excited to finally be bringing our community gatherings back. Lock in Sunday May 29th for our first Family Burger Night at Domeney Reserve.

Thanks a million

After much anticipation, Season 2022 is off to a flying start.
Over the last few Sundays, teams have been scattered across the region as the sound of football echoes across the suburbs. Football is back!
Of course, a season doesn’t just happen overnight. I would like to kick off the season with a note of gratitude.
A huge thanks goes to the incredible Sharks committee who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes over the past couple of months to get the season up and running.
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing with many curve balls thrown at us along the way. None of us are perfect but we all share the same passion of community and are focussed on our players and families reconnecting and having fun.
Thank you also to the coaches who have dedicated hours of their weeks to ensure that each child get to enjoy the thrills of football once more. We appreciate the time and effort that you put in each week on top of your daily lives to ensure that our kids get the best footy experience as possible.
Finally, I would also like to thank all the parents and supporters who give their time each week to help with training and on game day to help things run smoothly.
We honestly couldn’t run a season without you all so THANK YOU.
It is this level of commitment and support from volunteers that ensures our club continues to thrive.
Let’s make season 2022 the best yet.
Go Sharks!!
Thanks a million

As we all enjoy the Easter break, it’s a good time to reflect on kids sport and how they want to be treated.
Please watch this 2 minute video as a great reminder why players love their sport
Play By The Rules - Let Kids Be Kids
Below is the link to playbytherules.net.au – an interactive education and information website on discrimination, harassment and child protection in sport.
A reminder that only registered players will be able to play Round 1. Please use below link to complete your registration
Message from the league regarding Umpires and Medics. All registered players will have received the below info via an email from YJFL. Please be very aware and considerate of the challenges leagues and clubs are facing on this issue. This situation is out of the club’s hands
Teams will need to be prepared with a parent (or older sibling) on standby in case league umpires are not available.
Providing field umpires will be considered priority by the league over boundary umpires. Always have a parent (or older sibling) assigned as a boundary umpire.
All football leagues around the state face a shortage of umpires and we are no exception. This means some games (especially in U13-U15) will have only one League umpire and your Club must provide an additional umpire. We are actively recruiting and welcome those with any interest. It is a great way to stay involved, keep fit, have fun and get paid. Maybe you have an older child that could umpire or maybe you would like to umpire with one of your children?
Our game day medic supplier Colbrow are also facing staff scarcity problems. But for the start of this season we are 30 medics short of what we need. If you are medically qualified and would be interested in being your clubs medic on Sunday we will pay you to be a member of the Colbrow team. We always aim to provide a qualified medic to all games, but the start to this year will look different. We will look to spread the medics we do have evenly amongst the grounds, and will rotate their venues each week.
Boundary and Goal Umpires are to be filled by Parents/Older siblings – please refer to the schedule

LOTS to celebrate!!
Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep on top of what is happening across the club throughout the season
Preparation and planning for Season 2022 is well and truly up and running.
As we commence the year, we turn our attention to those on committee who do an amazing job and have been for a number of years.
As the game has developed roles have had to change and no longer can one person do one job like in the past.
We also recognise that in addition family dynamics have also changed yet people still want to contribute and be a part of their community club
Therefore, this year we have split the Team Manager Coordinator role into three. Making the work load lighter while also ensuring all necessary tasks and responsibilities are met.
We are looking for TWO new people to join Ingrid Ross as our Team Manager Coordinators. Ingrid will stay on as TMCO2 (see attached role description)
This is an opportunity for you, as parents, to be a part of this amazing club from the backend and make an impact in how we execute.
Team Manager Coordinators are an integral part of the game day functioning for all teams and this role can no longer be done by one person.
Please contact either Ingrid Ross or Kate Gniel to express your interest or find out more information
