The Club

The Upwey-Tecoma Football Netball Club has spent one year in the Premier Division of the newly formed AFL Outer East (a merger of the AFL Yarra Ranges and South East Football Leagues) having previously been the most successful team over the 52-year history of the Yarra Ranges league. We seek to establish a similar position within the AFL Outer East competition.

The Club has a state of the art $3.5m facility (opened 2018) which includes gymnasium, multi-purpose indoor space, meeting and coaches rooms, video analysis equipment etc along with new oval lighting and an electronic scoreboard to be installed before the 2020 season. It is home to Senior, Reserves and Under 18 Mens football teams, 4 Netball teams and 2 Womens football teams. Our Junior Club has a further 10 feeder teams. The Club has a strong and committed committee and volunteer base and is financially stable. 

Our intention is to be the destination club for Premier Football in our area of the AFL OE and we welcome the opportunity for any non-playing or playing coach to work together with us to achieve this objective.
