Welcome to
the mighty eagles
Since 1989, the Edgewater Woodvale Junior Football Club (EWJFC) have been kicking goals for their local community. Over the years many champions have started their careers with the Edgewater Woodvale Eagles and then gone on to play both WAFL football and in the AFL.
EWJFC is a band of motivated young players, supportive parents, determined and dedicated professional coaches and volunteers. These wonderful people participate for the passion of the sport and the passion for the footy club. We are a vibrant and passionate community and enjoy a welcoming, family orientated community ‘grass roots’ footy club culture. We pride ourselves on the ethos of fair play, integrity, mateship, and the fun of the game.
Be part of a growing club where new players are always made to feel welcome. Our home ground is at Emerald Park, where we are able to offer our players great facilities.
We thank our major sponsors for their support in 2020

WAFL PREMIERSHIP PLAYER
Kim Rigoll was a three-time fairest and best winner, named amongst the top 25 WAFL players of the last 25 years, captained West Perth (99-00, 04) and a 100-game player. Although Kim did not grow up playing footy with EWJFC, he chose the club for its footy experience and family culture for his three talented sons. Kim is EWJFC’s Coaches Coordinator. He brings a wealth of coaching knowledge and playing experience that strengthens our football program. Kim is responsible for all facets of coaching, player development, leadership and strategic direction for the Club’s football program.
