Season launch day success

Season launch day success

Thanks to all those who joined us on Sunday 14 February for our 2021 Season Launch Day.

It was great to see many of our players, coaches, officials, families and sponsors out enjoying the sunshine and finding out what season 2021 has in store.

A special shoutout to our sponsor The BMD Group who cooked and served sausages for all to enjoy.

And thanks to the Sports Centre for bringing up Mt Lofty merch.

Enjoy some pics from the day below.

Who are the Lofty Legends Group?

Who are the Lofty Legends Group?

The Mount Lofty District Football Club was formed in 1978 through the amalgamation of neighbouring clubs, Heathfield Aldgate United and Stirling. Throughout many decades prior to that, there had been several clubs in the area which had ceased to exist or had amalgamated – Aldgate, Crafers, Heathfield and Upper Sturt.

It is against this background that The Lofty Legends Group was formed in 2014 to basically continue the history of the clubs’ and the people who have gone before and who had contributed to the development and success of the Mt Lofty District Football Club.

There is no doubt that the people involved over the years really enjoy visiting the club and catching up with old friends from the various eras and Premierships. This is one of our main aims as The Lofty Legends Group through communicating with these people and arranging an Annual Reunion on a home match day. While we have a great time, we also want to preserve the history and legendary tales of those bygone eras.

Another aim of the group is to provide assistance to the club in the form of maintenance and support activities at which members of the football club often assist and we welcome anybody to join us if they are able. Some of the people involved in this also provide assistance on the more major undertakings by the Mt Lofty District Community and Sports Club in things such as the oval drainage, construction of the entry gates and the much anticipated change room redevelopment which is imminent.

On the playing side of the club, the Lofty Legends Group, provides some support in the form of several awards. A special award is provided to every senior player on achieving 100 and 200 senior games while an LLG Team Award is provided to a player in each junior grade.

This Team Award is a recognition aimed at supporting the culture of the club within the “One Club – ALL IN” approach. It is presented to a boy or girl in each team who is very dedicated to the team and the club and is heavily committed to their own improvement and that of the team. They are also persistent and determined and treat everybody with respect, while respecting all aspects of the club.

We are keen to continue assisting the club and trust that you have a very enjoyable year with the club in 2021.
