By 1998, Heatherdale had firmly established its place among premier grassroots clubs. An important merger followed — Heatherdale Junior Football Club joined forces with Heathmont Junior Football Club to create the Jets Junior Football Club, forging a direct pathway into the Heathmont Football Netball Club’s Under-18 and senior teams in the Eastern Football Netball League (EFNL).
Both clubs brought unique strengths:
-
Heatherdale: Trusted heritage and community coaching.
-
Heathmont: Structure and a senior pathway under the EFL umbrella.
This synergy has fostered a strong, long-term partnership, guided by shared values of player development and community spirit.
Based in Heatherdale Reserve, Purches St, Mitcham, we have players across teams from all local primary schools. This includes Rangeview, Antonio Park, Great Ryrie, Marlborough, Eastwood, Heathmont East and St James. Our older age groups have all local secondary colleges represented.
