We are looking forward to seeing the littlest footballers and their families out there for week 1 this Sunday May 7, 10:30am-11:30am at Stirling Oval.
You still have time to register, or you are more than welcome to head out and join us for a come’n’try session first if you are still finding your football feet.
We would like to introduce you to the coordinators for Auskick at Mt Lofty for 2023, Rose & Mick Peake. They will be at Stirling Oval ready to welcome you all.
Rose, Mick with their children, Ella and Daniel have a long-standing connection to the Mt Lofty Football Club, which started back in 2014 when their son Daniel enrolled in the Auskick program.
After Auskick, Daniel used his extensive charm and persuasion skills to convince Mick to coach his team and Rose to be Team Manager….and the rest as they say is history! They all continued into U11’s. Mick has extensive experience with both the Boys and Girls teams, having coached the first U12’s Girls team for Mt Lofty then the U14’s, in which their daughter Ella played. Rose is back this year as a team manager too with Daniel and the U16’s.
Both community minded, Mick and Rose have coached and held positions outside of our club, while Rose is still playing netball for sister club, Heathfield Netball Club.
Rose, Mick, and the Peake family will bring their extensive knowledge of football to our Auskick program. They note that their main objective is their participants have fun, learn the game, and begin to feel connected to Mt Lofty and our community. Their hope is that your families are able to form the kind of rewarding connections that they have been able to.

U11 GIRLS | SANFL JUNIORS Don’t keep score. Great sportsmanship seeing the Devils share players with Unley Jets this week. Playing against usual team mates a great experience for all
Our talented U11’s joined us on Arkaba Oval under lights after our senior mens and womens matches on Saturday in their match against Onkas.
The kids and parents then joined us in the club for meals and presentations. Coach Lionel was joined by Senior womens player and 2x Club Best & Fairest Aaj Jericho to give the players a high five and welcome them up on the way through.
A special moment for the young Genie playing in the U11s to share with a player like Aaj, as she celebrated her 150th career total matches, including 34 for Mt Lofty.
We were proud to be joined at Arkaba Oval this week, by Rick Smith to do us the honour of tossing the commemorative Life Member coin for our match against Onka Valley.
A long-term supporter of the Devil’s, Rick was awarded Mt. Lofty life membership in 2000.
Rick started with the club in the Andrew Downes era and in his first year supporting the club he was part of the team that experienced the Grand Final draw.
Rick spent time on the Club Committee while working with many teams during his involvement and he actively supported us as Property Steward and game day manager for many years. Cooking tonnes of chips at the Scout Jamboree was one highlight for Rick, and the light towers around the ground became possible from the efforts of people such as Rick.
He was a great support to his dear wife Joan as she served the head trainer role at the club, and no one has ever left an opposition change rooms as clean as Rick – he certainly made a difference to the expected standards at our club.
It’s always been a family affair for the Smiths, and Rick is accompanied today by sons Matt and Dan who both played for many seasons at the Devils.
Rick notes that he is pleased to see that the club has grown to its current position, and he feels that his family had a role in developing this.
Thanks for all you have given to our community Rick.
