Time to talk football Sport is back, and now is the time to get kids thinking about a local team to join. Ballan Football Club will face a challenging year with the clubrooms at the recreation reserve due to be demolished this week, making way for a brand-new staged upgrade. However, it is short term pain for long term gain. President of the club David O’Hanlon said it’s been tough times, and harder to get kids off couches and out playing footy with their mates. “The last couple of years we have not had an Under 18s team and now we are looking to boost numbers for our junior football sides, under 15 and 18s,” he said. “With COVID around you don’t see any kids in the streets, no kids riding bikes and trying to get kids back playing footy, is a hard feat.” O’Hanlon said the club has been contacting
parents and past members to get them back interacting, “but it’s proving difficult to say the least.” “Footy is a good outlet for the kids of that age group.We have put in place many programs to help the young guys and to provide a platform for them to progress into senior football and beyond,” Mr O’Hanlon said. “Over the last couple of years many parents have taken their kids elsewhere and it has affected the club in a big way, it would be great to see some of those families return, especially as we have a multi-million-dollar government and Council funded facility being built.” Interested in being a part of the Ballan FNC junior football teams? Training is on Monday and Wednesday 5.30pm, at the recreation reserve in Cowie Street Ballan.
