Hawthorn Citizens
Junior Football Club

We’re a happy team at Hawthorn

 News and Events

We are a community based, grass roots junior Australian Rules football club that has grown over the last decade to 25 teams and over 500 players. We are proud of the way that we play football and proud to be the custodians of the Club for the footballers of tomorrow.

Our mantra is S.I.D.E

Safe
Inclusive
Developmental
Enjoyable

 We are about:

  • Being the best club for each and every player who wears the brown and gold.

  • Giving our players and parents an opportunity to make new friends – some that may last a lifetime.

  • Providing a safe and inclusive environment for our boys and girls to develop their skills.

  • Developing our players not just in football, but in being a team member and thinking about team before individual.

  • Having a strong sense of community and enjoying the company of our fellow Citz members.

We aren’t just about winning premierships, but we will celebrate them when we have the good fortune of doing so.
We aren’t about playing in a particular YJFL division. We aim to be competitive in whatever division we are playing.
