The Aberfeldie Sports Club is the heart of local, grass root sports. Situated in the centre of Essendon, our community fosters talent across both junior & senior teams in the EDFL (Football & Netball), VTCA & NWMCA (Cricket).
We are dedicated to providing an inclusive & enjoyable environment for all members of the community, with our structured and professional sporting programs renowned for promoting junior participants love of the game and delivering on-field success across all age-groups.
Our club is run by a committee of management governed by the constitution available here. Our committee holds ultimate responsibility for the legal and financial affairs of the club. There are seven sub-committees within the structure of the Sports Club Constitution: Senior Cricket, Junior Cricket, Senior Football, Women’s Football, Junior Football & Netball.

FACILITIES
At Aberfeldie Sports Club, we’re proud to call Clifton Park our home — a first-class sporting precinct designed for both performance and community. Following a major redevelopment completed in 2025, the new Clifton Park Pavilion offers modern, multipurpose spaces that support our football and cricket programs, as well as broader community use.
Our facilities include:
-
A brand-new multipurpose pavilion featuring social rooms for family and member functions, club events, and community gatherings.
-
A fully equipped commercial kitchen, providing home-style meals on selection nights and gameday dinners throughout the year.
-
Four state-of-the-art cricket training nets with retractable dividers, giving players a professional training environment for both junior and senior levels.
-
A resurfaced main oval (2021) and expanded undercover spectator areas, providing a premium playing surface and a comfortable viewing experience for supporters.
With these upgrades, Aberfeldie Sports Club continues to offer one of the best community sporting environments in the region — where families, players, and supporters come together to enjoy sport at its best.
HEART SETS US APART
We’re more than teams on a field — we’re a community built on passion, respect, and connection. Our players, coaches, and volunteers bring energy and purpose to every game, united by a commitment to inclusion, development, and the spirit of fair play that defines what it means to be an Aberfeldie athlete.
