FIELDS CLOSED TODAY (JUNE 23)
Arlington County closed the fields today (6/23) due to rain yesterday. We will be back June 30.
Summer Begins June 16
This will be our lucky 13th summer season! Everything begins on June 16 at Bluemont Park. This year we have 7 scheduled sessions running through to July 28. Every session will begins at 9am with Sharks and Minnows, an explanation of skills and rules. They will have fun activities to teach the game. Every session will end with a non-contact game and snacks!
Over the summer we will have a couple of special sessions including the Specky Session and the Olympic Session. The Specky session will see boys and girls leap high over the coaches to replicate their AFL heros. The Olympic Session will see players show off their skills and talents as they compete for individual and team glory.
July 28 is our famous hotdog sizzle, raffle draw and backyard cricket game.

DONATE TODAY
As we finish out the 2017 calendar year, consider allocating some of you charitable contributions to the Washington Junior Australian Football Club, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit tax-deductible charity. The WJAFC runs one of only two youth Australian football programs in the United States. The Saturday Morning Footy program has been running continuously since 2006. The program is provided for free to boys and girls aged 5 to 15. Over the years, the program has taught the rules and skills of the great game of Australian football to hundreds of boys and girls in Arlington and the DMV. Many Australian army and foreign affairs families have participated as well as current and former US military families. We have had US cabinet secretaries, foreign correspondents and NFL players participate in the program. Insurance and field costs run to about $25 per player. All our coaches and administrators are volunteers.
A donation of any amount will help immensely.
The Gershman family has generously offered to MATCH dollar for dollar all donations to the program between now and December 31.
