On behalf of our Committee we thank all of the following sponsors who have generously supported our club this season. Without your valued assistance, important fundraising for the maintenance and up keep of equipment for our players would be very difficult. We look forward to continuing and developing our relationships in the future.

In my third year as President I am very proud again of what we have achieved this year. Each year we lift the bar as a club. To all the families who joined the club this year it was great to have you as a part of the LJFC family for the first time and to all families I hope you enjoyed your time at the club this year. I would like to thank everyone around the club for the year we have had and congratulate the many of you, who put their hands up each week, on a job well done. We had 6 teams reach the finals (out of a possible 12) this year, which was one less than last year. 2 teams made it through to the Preliminary Final. Unfortunately we did not see any blue and white on Grand Final day but as hosts of the finals again this year we certainly had a good time. We fielded 19 teams and had 427 players registered. This is up by two teams and 47 players from 2013. We had 11 new coaches appointed, with a number of those with either senior playing and or coaching experience. From an on field perspective we are very proud of the year. We do not only measure our success in final appearances but in the knowledge that our children have enjoyed their football and improved their football, team and social skills. Of course we know that what each team strives for is to play in a finals campaign and reach grand final success and if not this year there is always next year. It gives the teams and players motivation to have more on field success next year. For our 9’s and 10’s teams it is all about participation and learning the game. It was great to know from your coaches that you continued to develop and improve as the year progressed. It was also exciting that for the first time we had 4 under 9’s sides. There were approximately 250 children registered for Auskick this year so the numbers coming through continue to be strong. A key focus for this year was the establishment of our Junior and Youth girls sides. It was great too see the girls play in their first round and improve during the year. While our Junior girls did not win a game they certainly made progress and by the end of the last four rounds did not lose a game by more than 18 points. Our Youth girls made the preliminary final and just missed out making it into the last game of the year. As a club we have not had many girls play footy so it was very exciting to see 38 girls register this year. With the progress and enthusiasm we are expecting to see more join next year. I would like to thank Jenny Randall who coordinated the setup of our girls teams. At the start of the year I turned to Jenny and asked if she would take on the role. She agreed without hesitation and can now look back fondly on the contribution she has made. - 7 - Langwarrin Junior Football Club 2014 Annual Report This year we saw a number of new and innovative ideas implemented.
