Youth Footy
Our Youth Program
The SMOSH West Lakes Youth Footy Program builds on our Juniors program and introduces kids to competitive footy from our U12 team through to U17.5.
Our program closely aligns to the SANFL Woodville West Torrens Footy club principles. This program holds youth in good stead in the event they have opportunities to play at SANFL level or higher, but also to transition from Youth to Seniors Footy with SMOSH West Lakes Footy Club.
The junior club have a vested interest to develop our youth into senior footy and provide funding to the senior club to further develop our emerging talents.
