Join us on Sunday 12th February from 10.30am onwards for our 2023 SEASON LAUNCH & REGISTRATION DAY!
Head to our home ground Arkaba Oval for a free BBQ, registration enquiries, to buy your new Mt Lofty merch from Sports Centre, to meet the 2023 coaches and to have a kick with other moddies, juniors and senior players.
Everyone is encouraged to attend: returning players and new players welcome!
Mount Lofty District Football Club has announced an Early Bird Registration discount for all players, offering a $20 saving on their 2023 season fees.
The Early Bird Registration period is open from 28November 2022 until 31 January 2023.
Reminder: when you reach the checkout to claim the early bird $20 discount use the early bird code below in the ‘Vouchers’ field. Also, to claim the sports voucher for 2023 please select “I have a government voucher”.
All South Australian children in Reception to Year 9 are eligible for the SA Government $100 Sports Voucher. This means children aged 5 (or becoming 5 in the calendar year) to 15 years old are eligible. Remember it is one voucher for each eligible child per calendar year. In 2023, eligible children will have a birth year from 2008 to 2018.
In the coming days, Mount Lofty District Football Club (MLDFC) will open the registration portal for the 2023 season. Considerable time has been spent reviewing the expenses the club will incur over the next 18 months to ensure registration fees align with the ongoing viability of the football club.
We are all living through significant pricing pressures at home and at work, and the football club is not immune from these same pressures. We are expecting, and in many cases have experienced, significant cost increases in electricity, gas, game day consumables like footballs, guernseys, sporting tape, food, beverages plus maintenance costs for playing fields, clubrooms and change rooms.
Your senior and junior committees have worked hard to increase our revenue streams and reduce expenses to maintain a strong and vibrant destination for AFL loving families in the Adelaide Hills and one of those actions is to introduce a modest increase in playing registration fees in 2023.
Please see below the increases by age group:
An early bird discount of $20 will apply to all registration prior to 31 January 2023. Also, all South Australian children in Reception to Year 9 are eligible for the SA Government $100 Sports Voucher. This means if a child is 5 (or turning 5 in the calendar year) to 15 years old, they are eligible. Remember it is one voucher for each eligible child per calendar year. In 2023, eligible children are born between 2008 and 2018.
I am pleased to confirm that we have secured a high proportion of our coaches for the 2023 season for the modified and junior teams. However, we still require nominations for the Under 11 SANFL Girls team and the Under 8s mixed teams.
As season 2022 draws to a close, the Mount Lofty District Football Club (MLDFC) has started planning for 2023 and beyond.
We have a number of important roles becoming vacant, as outlined below.
This is a fantastic opportunity for members of our community to put their hand up to help steer the club over the next 2-3 years, as we build on our success and look to achieve even more in 2023.

WOW! What a day to kickstart season 2022 for the Devils!
Thank you to all of you that came out to register, get your merch and just have a fun day with your mates at Arkaba Oval today. It was fantastic to see all of our little Devs getting together with their mates, and getting to mingle with the big Devs for a kick and catch and a few games on the newly dressed oval. A few snags and icy poles for all, and everyone had a great day out.
A big thanks to major sponsor BMD for volunteering our BBQ cookers for the day and keeping out bellies all full after all the running around. This is not the first year BMD have supplied volunteers for the day, a support service above and beyond and we truely thank them for their dedication to our beloved club.
A big thanks goes out to Sports Centre for joining us on the day so our Devs were able to try on, purchase AND have their names printed on merchandise. If you were not able to make it on the day, merch is still available HERE
Don’t forget YOU CAN STILL REGISTER on the links. Get in before Feb 28th to avoid late rego status.
Finally thank you to all of the volunteers for your time in making today possible, from the eternally dedicated, to the parents and players (young and old) that helped out with everything. Our amazing club would not be such a warming, welcoming, inclusive environment without your dedicated support.
See you soon Devs fans 👹
