Junior Football is the next step for kids who are ready to move on from NAB AFL Auskick. The Eagles Mods (Modified AFL/Juniors) caters for mixed boys and girls in school years 3-7 (aged 8 to 12 years) Rules of matches are modified so children can continue to develop their skills in an enjoyable, safe atmosphere.

Kids are gradually introduced to competitive football in stages as they gain skills and confidence throughout their years of Junior Football participation. EWJFC and our mods players  are familiar with, and adopt, the “this is our game” philosophy. It is this philosophy that ensures all our participating boys and girls have a fun, safe and positive football experience that is suitable to their needs. 

EWJFC Mods are in Falcons (West Perth) District and play games against teams from the following Falcons District clubs;

• Whitford
• Oceanridge
• Joondalup-Kinross
• Quinns Rocks
• Wanneroo
• Brighton
• Yanchep

Fixtured games are played on a Sunday and run for approximately 1.5 hours including breaks (4 x 15 min quarters) Modifieds football is dependent on the help of various volunteers to assist in coordinating each game.  Each week the team manager organises a first aid volunteer, 2 water runners, goal umpires, and parent umpires.  Coaches and parent umpires are required to attend a course.

EWJFC Mods train once a week at Emerald Park, Edgewater. The day and time of the week will be set at the beginning of the season. 

Mouthguards need to be worn to all training sessions and and games for Year 3’s upwards

A no mouthguard no play rules apply.

Our Auskick season kicks off for the younger girls and boys aged 5 or turning 5. 

The Edgewater Woodvale Junior Football Club’s NAB AFL Auskick program is the perfect way to introduce children aged Pre-Primary to Year 2 the skills of the game of Australian football. Our program is based on a weekly coaching program that focuses on teaching the skills of the game through appropriately modified activities and rules. The emphasis is on providing a fun and safe environment for both kids and parents.

In 2025 we also welcomed our first all girls program – Edgewater Woodvale EaGALS.

The 3 core elements of the EWJFC’s AFL Auskick program that make the program successful are:

1. Fun & Safe – our program has been devised to match appropriate skill development drills and exercises with the participant’s abilities and needs. Your child will participate with children of similar age and the program has been devised to cater for children of all skill levels. The emphasis is on fun activities conducted in a safe environment.
2. For kids and parents – both kids and parents play a fundamental role in the success of the Edgewater Woodvale AFL Auskick program. The program assists boys and girls to improve their sporting skills and it promotes a wide range of physical activities and good sporting behaviour. 
   It also assists volunteers (mainly parents) to share in the experience of developing the skills of the children at our AFL Auskick clinics.
3. Managed by the community – the community underpins and drives the success of the Edgewater Woodvale Eagles program. Not only does our local community provide the participants, but it also provides the co-ordinators, coaches and volunteer helpers who are pivotal to the success of our AFL Auskick program. Parental involvement is paramount to the success of our program and are encouraged to join in by assisting with the activities and drills. Our Auskick Coordinators,  Coaches and Assistant Coaches need parental help to ensure all children can participate to the fullest extent possible. Sessions run for an hour-and- a-half. It is also great fun and very satisfying for parents to be involved in their child’s sporting activities.

No football experience for the children or parents is necessary. The children are taught the basic skills of kicking, handballing, marking and bouncing in a safe and friendly environment where they participate in a number of activities and football drills.
