About the Club

The FJFC - A Short Club History

The Fitzroy Junior Football Club (FJFC) was created in 1993. Before its formal creation, Fitzroy Football Club had been holding football clinics at the Edinburgh Gardens back oval for several years.

The Fitzroy Football Club donated a set of jumpers, and the FJFC joined the Hawthorn District Junior Football Club League (now the Yarra Junior Football League).

The original 1993 team competed in the Under 11 age group although only one child was in that age group. Some were under 10 but most were under 9. In their first season the team kicked just 1 goal 4 behinds - for the whole season!

The FJFC has progressed from those humble beginnings to being a co-tenant at the Brunswick Street ground with the Fitzroy Football Club,who play in the Victorian Amateur Football Association competition.

We are the boys from old Fitzroy,
We wear the colours maroon and blue.
We will always fight for victory,
And we'll always see it through.

Win or lose, we do or die,
In defeat we'll always try.
Fitzroy.
Fitzroy.
The club we hold so dear,

Premiers we'll be this year.
