ABOUT US
Welcome to the web site of the Golden Grove Football Club.
Golden Grove Football Club commenced in 1995 with a smattering of junior teams serviced from an Atco Hut at Greenwith Oval. In the 12 years since we have grown into one of the largest clubs in the state boasting 17 junior and 4 senior teams in 2006. We have a world class oval in Harpers Field and recently acquired night standard lighting.
Golden Grove Football Club offers Seniors and Junior Teams. The Seniors play in the South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL) and the Juniors play in the North Eastern Metro Junior Football Association (NEMJFA) League.
The 'A' Grade plays at Harpers Field for home games on Saturdays at 2:15pm, 'B' Grade plays at Harpers Field for home games on Saturdays at 12:15pm and the 'C' Grade play at Harpers Field for their home games at Saturday at 2:30pm.
In the Juniors the Golden Grove Football Club runs 1 or 2 teams in each age group to to U13. We also field an U14, U15, U16, U17 or U18. The age group is determined on how old the player is on 1st January. Eg. If a player turns 9 after the 1st January, they will play in the under 9 age group for that year.
The club also run the Auskick program on Friday afternoons.
To play for our club, each player must:
1
Complete an approval/medical consent form, these forms are available on registration day, or your Team Manager. All previous players registered with our club will recieve a new form with the pre-registration day letter.

On behalf of the committee and myself, I would like to WELCOME you to the new season. If this is your first year with the club I look forward to meeting you over the next few weeks and I am sure you will enjoy your time with the mighty Kookaburra’s. To all of you who are coming back for what is shaping up to be our most exciting year in our history “it’s great to have you back”
Our senior group had a very solid last year playing off in three Grand Finals in their respective grades, and we were good enough to win two of the three flags with our B Grade missing out by 3 points. This success led to our A Grade gaining promotion to Division 4. The senior success was also backed up with a very solid junior year. The club was able to field 17 junior sides across 10 age groups, with over 350 players being registered within the club. We also were encouraged with the success of our junior program and this has led us to introduce a fourth senior side this year as well as having strong numbers in the Under 18 age group.
Off the field the management committee finalized the plans for the building of our new clubrooms. I was very proud to announce that building work commenced late December 2008 and although the building will not be ready for our first game, we should be able to move in mid-season. As many of you will have seen the slab and timber frame has been erected and the bricklayers were starting today so we should see the building at lock up stage early next month. As you are aware the cost of the development at Harpers is in excess of $2.5 million and although we have secured various grants and funding options the club still has a very big financial commitment to the project. Some of these finances will be sort through a bank or financial institution but we have committed to carry out various works around the site which will be offset from our final contribution.
