Resurgence of junior Magpies

THERE is a strong, positive vibe around the Belgrave Junior Football Club.
In 2015, the Belgrave Junior Football Club only had one team competing, the under 10s.
They were a young group and worked hard all year to represent the club.
This year Belgrave has recruited well and managed three teams; due to the hard work and dedication from the players, coaches, parents and committee.
The club has an under 10s team coached by Mick McGuinness (last year’s coach), Under 12s coached by Glenn Underwood and they proudly have their first-ever girls team, coached by Andy McGuinness.
The club has pushed hard to get a girls’ team because they want to empower girls in the community and help develop self-esteem, confidence and skills in these girls and, of course, want them to have fun.
On Wednesday, 13 April, the club had its jumper presentation night, with the clubrooms full of new and old families.
The club also has its Auskick kids which participate on Friday nights from 5.30pm-6.30pm, where all kids from age five and upwards are welcome to join.
Kids and families being a part of a local sporting club is such a positive thing.
They make life-long friendships, gain confidence, develop self-esteem, as well as being active through training and games.
