Welcome to the Glenroy Football Club

Welcome to the Glenroy Football Club. I'm privileged to be the sitting President and be able to share with you not just a passion for AFL but for our Mighty Roys. 


Our great club was founded in 1946, making us one of the oldest clubs in the EDFL and ever since, we've been an integral part of the Glenroy community with huge local community support from business and residents alike. 


We are a very hard-working and dedicated volunteer-based club, our senior club is currently in the Premier Division of the Essendon District Football League, and we pride ourselves on offering opportunities for not just senior players but juniors (both boys and girls) as well so we can foster the future stars of the sport.


We live and adhere to our club's code of conduct, morals, standards and values of being community minded, family friendly, inclusive, encouraging, respectful and above all else, a fun and welcoming environment to be involved with. The Glenroy Football Club committee, coaches and players hope you and your family will be a part of our community too.

President
