The Mount Lofty District Football Club is inviting all players, parents, club volunteers and supporters to participate in a survey that seeks your views on the current state of junior and youth football in the Hills Football League.
The survey will take about 3 minutes to complete and all results will remain confidential.

We encourage you to take the time to complete the survey as it will help to shape the future of the Mount Lofty Football Club.
Background
The Hills Football League, in conjunction with the SANFL, have prepared a report that summarises key findings, considerations and recommendations for Junior and Youth Football in the Adelaide Hills.
In summary, there has been healthy growth of players participating in Auskick, flat numbers in modified football (8-12yrs) and healthy growth in female participation in both groups. Therefore, on face value, 12yrs and under formats seem to be working.
However, at a Youth level, Under 14 to Under 18 male participation levels are dropping off substantially (-13.7%), and Hills dwellers are gravitating towards SANFL juniors in greater numbers. There is also a decrease in the number of teams being fielded across the junior groups in the Hills and Country leagues.
The Hills Football League has encouraged all Hills Football clubs to provide their recommendations to improve Junior and Youth football from 2022 onwards.
The weather is wintry and our dinner specials this week are designed to really warm you up. Head to the club on Thursday from 5.30pm for:
The meals are delicious, the bar is open and this is a great way to support the club.
See you there.
