Come along and meet the Fremantle Phantoms for a training run and when you are ready you can play competitive football in the AFL Masters WA League. Masters football is played across 3 different age divisions (33-40yrs, 40-45yrs, 45yrs+) and the league has tweaked a few rules to promote player safety, but the real change is in the attitude—this is ‘Footy for Kicks’ and is played in a great spirit. There are currently 18 teams across the metro area and games are played every second Sunday at various metropolitan grounds.

At the Phantoms you will meet a friendly bunch of blokes who love their footy and a good social time.

We come from all walks of life and all sorts of skill levels. Some have never played before, some are ex rugby players, some are ex AFL and WAFL players, but everyone is welcome.

Commencing Sunday February 7 at 8.00am we have light training runs starting at South Beach (on the grassed area to the right of the café ) and in March we start training on Wednesday nights at Gil Fraser Reserve in North Fremantle.

Membership fees are a very reasonable $200. This fee includes a free meal every Wednesday night, free on-site physio services, subsidised wind-up tickets, cheap club priced beers etc etc You don’t have to be super fit to play Masters Footy, just ready to have a go and make some new mates.
