Pathways

New to the club

Whether you're a new parent or volunteer, we are excited to have you as part of this special club. We have provided documents on the club's expectations from all of our members. 

Player expectations

We hold high expectations of our players at the Eastern Ranges. From coaching to high performance programs, we give players the tools to live an elite sports life.

Male pathway

The Eastern Ranges have two main programs: the U17 Futures Squad and the U19 NAB League Boys. We also run two smaller programs to help develop players and give them an insight into how the club operates and what they need to do to further their football careers: U14 Development Day and U15 Next Generation Squad. However, players may be selected to join any squad at any time.

Female pathway

Launched in 2015, The Eastern Ranges Girls squad has three tiers of leagues; the U15 Girls Interleague Metro Championships, U17 Futures Squad and U19 NAB League Girls. Each squad aims to develop female players by providing high level sporting opportunities. In 2018, we had our first ever AFLW Draftees in Mikala Cann (Collingwood), Charlotte Wilson & Emerson Woods (Carlton).
