For those looking to play at the highest level, we have set the foundations, on & off the field, as we march towards our next A-Grade Premiership. With a strong coaching group led by Dwayne Kretchmer (Men) and Paul Sherwood (Women), specialised S&C, tackling and ruck coaches and the support of Adelaide Uni Sport & Fitness, we are investing in our football program like never before, ensuring you get the best out of your football, and together, we achieve the ultimate success!

For the more social footballer, our lower grades offer a melting pot of interesting people from all walks of life, featuring new and developing players and those just enjoying footy for what it is. The social vibes are unparalleled and punctuated by our unique post-match ‘Hold Your Bowlies’ presentations, where all are welcome and the rich ‘Blacks’ culture envelopes us all!
