Shellharbour Junior Football Club
Established in 1967, Shellharbour Junior Football Club (SJFC) is a successful volunteer based organisation that has grown into one of the largest junior football clubs in the Illawarra with approximately 1150 registered players.
SJFC has a proud history of being a family club and the support of local businesses and the community has been a vital factor in the clubs success. Continued support ensures that our sport remains affordable for all players and their families.
Our major source of revenue comes from membership fees provided by parents and sponsorships received from generous individuals and businesses. All our Committee members are local residents who are committed to making the Club a success.

Still over the moon about this announcement. Visit the Football Australia website to see why we were selected
We are extremely proud to announce that we were named Football Australia's Club Changer Club of the Year. More than 1000 clubs participated in the program and we were recognised as leading the way when it comes to providing a safe and welcoming environment for our kids to play. This is 57 years in the making and this is the next step in many more great things to come. We have to thank our dedicated committee past and present for the countless hours they spend away from their families to ensure that all our families are able to enjoy a safe place for our kids to have fun and grow. We started the Club Changer Program as we recognised that there is always room for improvement and we faced the challenges head on. It wasn't always easy, we questioned our sanity at times, and questioned whether what we are doing is the best thing for our community; but we persevered and our efforts have been recognised. We ended last season with a bang. 1500 kids at Myimbarr every Wednesday afternoon, including over 400 girls which is absolutely amazing. We have backed that up this year with our regular season reaching over 1100 players, a 21% increase from last year. We have introduced new programs to ensure every player has the best opportunities for development, providing coaches with access to the best learning materials, and reaching out to our extended networks to support our kids; and all of this is done at a grassroots level. We are looking forward to a strong 2024 season and we are thrilled that you are along for the ride. Let's make it a great season and let the kids remember that 2024 is the year they found a new passion for our sport.
Merchadise is open Monday and Tuesday next week 5:30-7pm.
