Welcome to Brighton Junior Football Club
Brighton Robins Junior Football Club is a proud member of the Southern Tasmania Junior Football League (STJFL), providing AFL football pathways for players from Auskick through to Under 16s.
Based in Brighton, Tasmania, we are a club built on three core values:
Sportsmanship — the spirit in which we connect and compete;
Respect — for everyone, on and off the field, including umpires' decisions;
Try Your Hardest — because we reward effort, not just outcomes.
We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for every player, family, and volunteer. As a Child Safe organisation operating under the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023 and Sport Integrity Australia's National Integrity Framework, the welfare of our young people is at the heart of everything we do.
Whether you're pulling on the red and blue for the first time or developing your skills toward senior football, Brighton Robins JFC is a club where everyone belongs.
Our story
Brighton Robins Football Club has roots stretching back to 1885, when the club was founded as the Mangalore Football Club — one of the oldest football clubs in southern Tasmania. Over more than a century, the club competed across a range of leagues throughout the region before becoming a foundation member of the Southern Football League (SFL) in 1996, the same year it adopted the Brighton Robins name.
The senior club's finest hour came in 1998, when the Robins claimed a dramatic SFL premiership — winning a replayed grand final against Cygnet by 13 goals after the original match ended in a low-scoring draw. It was the culmination of years of hard work and the reward of a community that had backed its club through thick and thin.
Home to both the senior and junior programs, the club is based at 80 Midland Highway, Pontville — a ground that has been the heartbeat of football in the Brighton community for generations.
Today, Brighton Robins JFC carries that history forward through the STJFL, giving players from Under 8s through to Under 16s the opportunity to develop their skills, build lifelong friendships, and represent a club with genuine roots in this community.
With the return of senior women's football in 2026, we are building a complete pathway from junior development all the way through to senior football for both boys and girls — and the next chapter of the Robins story is just beginning.
