Team and Age Group overview

Balgownie Junior Football Club fields teams (mixed, boys and girls) from U6 until U18 (boys).

The U6 to U11 are called MiniRoos and the U12 to U18 age groups are classified as “graded” teams.

In 2025 we are introducing “grouped” U10 and U11 teams based on families and players that would like their players to be involved in teams that play against other Clubs advanced or higher level teams.

MiniRoos – U6 to U11

A fun and engaging introduction to football for boys and girls aged 5-11.

MiniRoos is a smaller version of football that provides boys and girls aged 5-11 with a fun introduction to the world game.

MiniRoos is designed for kids; it is all about having fun, learning new skills and making life-long friends.

MiniRoos provides opportunities for boys and girls of all abilities, shapes and sizes to play football. Games are played on smaller fields, with a reduced number of players to ensure everyone gets plenty of football action. As children grow, field sizes and teams expand too. Games are non-competitive, with no wins or losses recorded.

Parents of U6 & U7 players should read the BJFC U6 & U7 Guide Book Version 2 to assist in ensuring your child has an enjoyable season.

To register, a player must be turning at least 5 in 2025 and not be older than 18 any time during the 2025 playing season.

Go to the Registration Process page to read more details about the process.

In order for a player to play up a grade, see the Out of Age Policy page.

Graded Teams U10 – U18

From the age of 10, players can request to be placed into teams that are grouped or graded based on ability, and compete within appropriate competition divisions within the Football South Coast district.

See Grading Policy to read more on the guidelines used by the Club to sort team lists.

Girls only, Boys only, Girls and Boys Mixed Teams

Girls may request to play within Mixed (boys and girls) teams from U6 to U15.

Girls may request to play in Girls only teams from U6 to U18.

Coaches and Managers are all volunteers but must be approved by the Club Committee. For more information on becoming a Coach or Manager, go to the Coaches & Managers page. All coaches are encouraged to compete FFA coaching courses, and are supported by the BJFC Technical Committee.
