Registrations are open

/in , , , , , /by

Registrations have opened for boys and girls to play AFL with Drummoyne Power.

We’re accepting new and returning players in all age groups, from U5 through to U17 boys and U18 girls.

Auskick

AFL Auskick is an introductory program and is the best fun kids can have being active! In weekly sessions kids will explore the world of AFL, building football skills and playing in a safe and super fun setting. Expect small groups, heaps of games and parent/guardian involvement.

Our Auskick program is for U5 to U8.

Juniors

In U9 and above, our kids play home and away games. It’s still a modified version of Aussie Rules and the emphasis is still on fun, participation and learning footy skills. In U11, games are scored for the first time, and finals are introduced.

Youth footy

From U12 and above, Drummoyne Power kids play for our youth club, the Canada Bay Cannons. They still register as Drummoyne Power, but they train and play as Cannons.

Girls footy

Girls play alongside boys from U5 until U14. In U10 they can choose to keep playing alongside boys, or join our Youth Girls teams in the Canada Bay Cannons. Come girls even choose to do both! They play for Drummoyne Power in a mixed team on Saturdays, then play in Youth Girls with the Cannons on Sundays.

So, what are you waiting for?

Head over to our registration page to sign up to play AFL for Drummoyne Power in 2023. Don’t forget to download your Active Kids Voucher BEFORE you pay. It takes $100 off the cost of registration, but can’t be claimed afterwards.

You’ll also find lots of cool Drummoyne Power off-field merchandise on offer. It’s non-compulsory. We’ll supply all their on field uniforms at the start of the season – you just have to organise footy boots and a mouthguard!

Female footy is continuing to grow and Drummoyne Power is the place to start!

Our Auskick program for U5 through to U8s is the perfect place for girls (and boys) to learn basic footy skills. There’s no tackling, modified rules and an inclusive atmosphere. Auskick is fun and safe, and a great place for girls involved in this terrific team sport.

Girls can play alongside boys up to the age of 14, and we have girls playing in Drummoyne Power’s U9 to U11 teams.

But we also offer all-girls teams from U10 through to U18 as part of our Canada Bay Cannons youth AFL club.

Why not give it a try in Season 2021? Registrations are open now.

PS: Don’t forget to claim your Active Kids Voucher before registering… it takes $100 off the cost of registration. All the details and links are on our registration page.

Volunteer for Season 2021

/in , , , /by

Footy season will be here before you know it! We’re looking for volunteers – at a team and club level – to help get our kids on the footy field in Season 2021.

If you’re interested in coaching or managing a team or helping out on our Board,  please let us know.

Volunteering for your local footy club is a great way to be part of your community, and to be involved in a sport your child loves.

We can tailor your volunteer experience to your skill set and availability. While some roles such as coaching or managing a team require weekly commitment, others may need just an hour or two at home games or midweek.

Drummoyne U7 vs East U7

/in /by

The balmy winter weather continued as we headed to Trumper Park to take on Easts in the final game of the home and away season 2018.

Highlights package:

Q1

After an early conceded behind, Jack Cameron cleared the ball to Fletcher who moved the ball up the middle to the safe hands of Charlotte and Zoe

Jack clears the ball, this time up the middle to Ned takes advantage and kicks to an open goal (6 points!)

Ned centres the ball to Jeremy, clearing the ball to Isaac M who hand passes nicely to the reliable goal scorer, Ned, who now has his 2nd goal of the quarter

Our defence does its best to divert an attack on goal forcing Easts to kick a left footed goal from the left forward pocket

Isaac M taps it onto Fletcher who moves the ball forward to Ned, who unselfishly hand passes to Jeremy, who is awarded a free kick – almost a goal as the kick is stopped on the line (we really need to get video replays for the Under 7s next season!)

Isaac M again again advances the ball from defence, offloading to Jeremy who strides out and takes a shot to score another major.

A courageous block (worthy of a man of the match effort) by Ned, sustaining a closed head injury; shortly after Ned marks the ball, proving his resilience, then kicks massively for a clean chest mark by Jack.

It’s a game of “forcings back” with Ned marking and then kicking upfield to Jack and a short time later the same sequence is repeated.

Isaac M succeeds in hand balling a massive ice cream scoop hand pass upfield to set up a play.

Wonderful goal defending by Tyler to keep Easts modest in the scoring department.

Just before the siren and symbolic of the improvement across the team over the season, a power play with uninterrupted possession from Jeremy kicking from the goal square laterally to the right, accepted by Ned who hugs the side line running up towards centre field and centring the ball slightly with a kick to Jack, who is assisted by Charlotte in gathering the ball so that he can pass to Fletcher who puts it through the big sticks for a wonderful team goal.

Q2

The dominance of Drummoyne continued.

A couple of marks by Jeremy to start the quarter off, followed by a big downfield boot of the ball to Jack, who (not for the last time today) curves the ball off the outside of his foot through the posts for a goal.

Ned kicks to Jack and Ned who take a joint mark, showing their keenness and keeping of eyes on the ball.

A block by Jack, who shares the ball to allow Tyler to take his chance, which he certainly does as another major score is added to the total, thanks to some help also from Zoe.

A contested pick up by Jack in defence, then a big kick upfield where Hugh scores a behind from a difficult angle.

Great team work from Drummoyne, sharing and moving the ball rapidly at every play. Strong in defence and aggressive in attack saw goals aplenty from everyone.

Tyler fashions a left foot kick in from a stoppage, Jeremy gathering the ball, sharing it quickly to Hugh who scores a goal kicking on an angle.

Q3

Ned gets another big kick away upfield to Charlotte, Charlotte has a good shot and scores a behind.

Ned in the forwards intercepts the ball and works his way around a player to convert another goal.

Jack kicks another goal off the outside of his boot.

Hugh gets a touch on a shot at goal by Easts to prevent a goal, followed by an accurate kick out by Ned.

Fletcher swerves and kicks a beautiful left footed kick upfield.

Jack scores yet another goal off the right side of his boot from the left boundary line.

Ned to Jack to Zoe in a string of hand passes.

Ned is awarded man of the match for his outstanding goal scoring. Well done all and thank you to coach Carolyn.

Under 7 Drummoyne Powers VS Maroubra Saints

/in /by

Round 11

The week leading up to Saturday’s showdown, between Drummoyne Power and Maroubra Saints, saw Sydney experience a deluge and wild weather. It was therefore expected that the grounds at Heffron Park would be slightly sludgy to play on and the spectators would be in for an exciting game: And most definitely it was a ripper of a game!!

With a few team mates missing, Drummoyne was split into two teams as opposed to the usual three. Coach Carolyn prepped the boys with some last minute tactics. The field was unexpectedly larger than what our boys were familiar with, but they were able to quickly adapt and relied heavily on team plays.

The goals were aplenty for both sides. Our team was superb in defence and aggressive in attack.

Highlights for each player:

Charlotte (50) : Instrumental in blocking while playing in the backs. She prevented 2 goals, forcing them to behinds.

Dylan (51): Strong in the centre, winning every ball contest, allowing his other centres to scoop up the ball.

Fletcher (62): Magnificent in team play. Quick hand passes to his forwards allowed them plenty of goals.

Hugh (80): Supported his forwards and was selfless, always passing or kicking to someone in a better position for a chance to score a goal.

Isaac M (25): Tough around the ruck and strong, winning most of his one to one contests.

Jack CA (37): Took a sensational mark, and disposed of it so quickly to his forward for a Drummoyne goal.

Jeremy (48): Speed and agility allowed him to outrun his opponents and kick downfield to his forwards, resulting in 4 goals.

Ned (95): Nimble and accurate making him the most prolific goal scorer of the game.

Sophia (58): Dominant in the centre, forcing the ball into our territory.

Baxter (42): Kicked a powerful 20 metre kick resulting in a goal and clearing the fence.

Bryce (90): Not surprisingly, was Man of the Match for his determination and stamina with every ball contest. He was accurate in disposing of the ball at every opportunity to another team player.

Isaac O (32): Brilliant in the first quarter in the forward position. Read the game well and kicked with precision for 2 goals.

A special thank you to coach Carolyn for her guidance and encouraging words throughout the game.
