As someone who has proudly donned the Docklands Athletic Football Club jersey for eight years as a player, I'm thrilled to share a pivotal development in our club's journey. Lucas has generously stepped in as the major sponsor of our club, coinciding with our exciting rebranding and relocation to Ron Barassi Snr Park in Docklands. This marks a significant chapter in our club's story as well as for the area which has never had a sporting club to call its own.
The impact of Lucas’s sponsorship extends far beyond financial assistance. It represents a profound belief in our club's mission and a commitment to the Docklands community. This support is set to revolutionize our approach to nurturing young talent, attracting local residents across all age groups and equipping us with the resources for exceptional facilities and training.
Over my years with the club, I've seen the dedication and potential within our team, and this new partnership with Lucas marks a turning point. It offers an incredible opportunity for our young and aspiring players, especially women, to excel in a supportive environment. The club's commitment to women's football, bolstered by Lucas's backing, puts us in a strong position to elevate young female talent in the community, providing them with ample opportunities to succeed in football.

Matthew Tate, our club president, has aptly described the synergy of this partnership. It's a fusion of shared objectives and visions, focusing on community growth, development, and fostering local talent. This collaboration reflects our collective goals and future aspirations.
In summary, Lucas teaming up with Docklands Athletic Football Club is a monumental step towards nurturing community engagement and developing talent. As a long-standing player, I'm excited about this partnership and look forward to the new possibilities it brings for football in Docklands.
Junior clinics are already in full swing, and with matches scheduled for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the season, there's a wealth of opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to join our vibrant community. Whether you're interested in our junior, women's, or men's teams, there's a place for everyone. And if playing isn't quite your thing, we have numerous roles within the club where your support and skills would be invaluable. Alternatively, feel free to give me a call to learn more about our schedule and come down to experience the excitement of our teams in action.
