Welcome to the new Blog

Hi everyone, this new blog has been set up to give you access to more information about the Monbulk Junior Football Club. We will share links and resources to help develop your football skills, share pictures and videos throughout the season and give you the opportunity to be more involved than ever before.

The club is developing a detailed blueprint that will be first implemented this season. The blueprint aligns the coaches and forms a structure across all year-levels to give our players true progression as they grow with football. As always the clubs primary goal is player enjoyment, but with the blueprint and new approaches to training that focus on getting the ball into the players hands much more often, we hope that everyone will enjoy the season more as their skills improve. Stay tuned for a new Player Handbook that covers all this good stuff.

In the meantime we've linked to some great training resources created by the AFL, have a look at the Skills and Drills links on the right.

Also while this blog is new, the existing Sporting Pulse site is still up and running and remains your destination for information about fixtures, ground locations, sponsors etc. Sporting Pulse is linked in the side-bar to the right of this page.

So again welcome, look forward to regular updates from the club and your coaches and if you want to really stay-in-the-loop then friend the clubs Group on FaceBook here and we'll notify you of updates to the site.


Have a great season and Go Hawks!
