Narangba Crows AFL

Last updated April 2026

Watch little boots lace up for their first tackle at the Narangba Crows AFL junior club in Burpengary. This tight-knit club turns the oval at Findlay Street into a mini-MCGA on the weekend, where four-to-twelve-year-olds sprint between cones, practice handballs, and high-five the umpire after a game. The under-6s start with soft footballs and giant goalposts so no one misses the fun, while the older kids play on the same surface as the seniors—making it feel like a real Brisbane AFL pathway. Parents usually end up on the boundary line shouting encouragement or sneaking a coffee from the canteen that opens before first bounce. It’s the kind of community sport that builds friendships before the first season is even over. **What to Bring** Sun-smart hats and sunscreen. Football boots or firm-soled sneakers. A water bottle that clips onto a fence post. A light jumper for the sidelines—Burpengary mornings can still feel cool. Pack a small towel for muddy knees and a snack that won’t melt in the car. **Best Age Range** Best for 4–12 year olds. The under-6s have their own modified games, while the 10–12 age group scrimmages 9-a-side matches. **Good to Know** Training fees are collected at the start of each term: $120–$150 per child. No booking needed for home games—just rock up and find a spot on the grass hill. Parking is free along Findlay Street and overflow on side streets. Can’t make the game? Missed the last term? Contact the registrar to join the waitlist—they always need an extra ruck-rover. **Nearby** Cool down after footy at the Burpengary Memorial Park playground on Gympie Road. Grab a post-game pie next door at the Burpengary Tavern. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early so the little ones can warm up with the big kids. Bring a collapsible chair—those boundary lines get crowded fast. Check the club Facebook page on Friday nights for last-minute field changes when the weather turns."
