About NJFC
The Northcote Junior Football Club (NJFC) is a community-based organisation providing our local youth with the support and facilities to learn, play and enjoy football.
Now based at McDonell Park (behind the YMCA and Northcote Pool), the NJFC has a history dating back to 1952.
We're known as "the Cougars". Our club song, "Good Old Northcote Forever", is sung to the tune of the Collingwood anthem.
Our eight teams play in the Northern Football League. We have more than 180 players and 140 families.
Our teams have found increasing success in recent years. In 2010, four of our teams played in Grand Finals and two won flags.
The club is affiliated with both Northcote AusKick and Northcote Park Football Club.
As with all community-based amateur sports clubs, the NJFC is an organisation managed and run by dedicated volunteers working within a structure governed by our club constitution.
The management committee is elected by members. One parent becomes a member when their child joins the club; additional social memberships are also available. See more details in our playing & joining section.
The club has earned bronze quality accreditation from the AFL and is now completing the steps for silver accreditation.
The club carries the top level of Australian Football National Risk Protection Programme insurance policy from Jardine Lloyd Thompson.
