Ellenbrook Eels

Welcome

The Ellenbrook Eels Senior Football Club was established in 2002 on the back of initial interest from three local residents Vaughan Roberts, Ben Franks & Troy Newick. The Club competes in the West Australian Amateur Football League (WAAFL) with 2 senior teams and the inaugural colts team in 2011. Since the Eels were formed, the league side has played 181 games, the reserves a further 90 and the colts 18(to the start of 2012 season). The Masters (over 35's) play every second Sunday and are a vital part of our growing club.

With Ellenbrook being such a young suburb in the Swan Valley, the club prides itself on being a “family based club” with regular events including family gala day, Auskick half time matches and the Saturday night family dinners.

The Club is based at Coolamon Oval, located on Coolamon Bvd, Ellenbrook.

2011 was the clubs 10 year anniversary and yielded the clubs first flag with the reserves taking out the C4 Reserves Grand Final

Preseason Update

We started our preseason campaign on the 10th January with over 60 players attending our first session, which was a fantastic start to the 2012 season. The pleasing thing was the amount of new faces we’ve had down. It’s also great to see all the past players back as well and from what I’ve seen so far, I see no reason why the Eels can’t taste success this year.

Both Hatchy and Burge have put a challenging but rewarding preseason program together and will have the playing group very fit and ready for the task come round 1. With that in mind we all need to maintain our early commitment and work hard to achieve our season goals.

We’ll be training at Woodlake Reserve for most of our preseason due to the lights not being ready @ Coolamon Oval so players are required to be @ training from 6:15pm for a 6:30 start. Please ensure you bring a water bottle, runners and footy boots with you.

We had our first intra club scratch match last Sunday with close to 50 players attending. We split into 4 even teams and contested a lightning carnival. All up the coaching staff were very happy with the talent on show and we’ll definitely be having a few more Sunday scratch matches over the coming few weeks.

Finally if you know anyone who wants to come down for a kick this year they are more than welcome. If you are interested in joining the Eels please contact the club on 0439 335 700.

Kind Regards
