the panther pride: our kids. our purpose.

Welcome to Pearcedale Baxter Junior Football Club – home of the Mighty Fighting Dales!

We’re a family focused junior football club providing a welcoming, inclusive and supporting environment where young players can learn, develop, compete and most importantly, enjoy their footy. Everything we do starts and ends with the kids, no exceptions, no compromises. Their safety, wellbeing and enjoyment of the game is at the heart of everything we do.

At PBJFC, we recognise that community sport is about so much more than football. It’s about helping kids grow, not just as footballers, but as people. Our club is more than a place to train and play; it’s an important part of our local community, bringing together players, families, volunteers and supporters.

From first-time players through to our older age groups, we’re committed to making sure every child feel valued, supported and empowered to be themselves, build confidence, develop friendships and learn skills that extend well beyond the football field.
