WHO WE ARE

The Kilmore Junior Football Club has been a cornerstone of our community for nearly four decades. Since our incorporation in 1986, we've been dedicated to one simple mission: creating a positive, inclusive junior football experience where every child can thrive.

We're more than just a sporting organisation - we're a football family built on local pride, mutual respect, and a shared love of the game. From our youngest Auskickers taking their first kicks to our Under 18s competing at the highest junior level, KJFC is where friendships are forged, confidence is built, and lifelong memories are made.

With 17 teams across boys and girls pathways, dedicated volunteer coaches, and a passionate community of families who bleed royal blue and sky blue, we're proud to be recognised as the 2023 NFNL Junior Club of the Year - a testament to the values, culture, and spirit that define the Two Blues.
