The Claremont Jets Gridiron Club was established in 1988 amidst the burgeoning excitement for American Football in Perth, Western Australia. At a time when the sport was relatively unknown in the region, the Jets were instrumental in laying the groundwork for what would become a thriving gridiron community across the state. From our humble beginnings, we steadily grew, driven by passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
In our early years, the Jets overcame numerous challenges, from sourcing equipment and securing suitable training facilities to building awareness and understanding of American Football within the local community. Through grassroots efforts, extensive volunteer work, and sheer determination, the club quickly built a robust player base and established itself as a competitive force within Gridiron West.
The Jets’ success accelerated through the 1990s and early 2000s, seeing the club secure multiple championship victories, with our players regularly recognised at the league level for their individual talents and contributions. These successes served not only as milestones but as powerful validation of the club’s foundational ethos of hard work, camaraderie, and sportsmanship.
Throughout the 2000s, the Jets continued to expand their scope, introducing youth programs and fostering women’s participation, making the club increasingly inclusive and representative of the broader community. Each year saw steady growth in membership, highlighting the growing popularity and appeal of American Football in Perth and reinforcing the Jets’ role as pioneers of the sport in Western Australia.
Central to the Jets’ identity has always been a steadfast commitment to a family-first ethos. Our club recognises that strength on the field is deeply connected to the support and encouragement players receive off the field. By fostering a warm, inclusive atmosphere where families, friends, and supporters feel valued and engaged, we have created a nurturing environment that extends beyond sportsmanship and competition.
Many of our players have grown up within the Jets community, transitioning from youth teams to senior ranks, highlighting the club’s long-term commitment to player development and personal growth. We take pride in seeing generations of families engaged with the Jets, whether on the field as athletes or off the field as volunteers and supporters. Our family-oriented approach has not only strengthened team cohesion but has built enduring relationships and lasting memories that extend far beyond the playing season.
The Jets’ family-first approach also emphasises mentorship, teamwork, and character building, instilling values that are crucial both within the sport and in everyday life. The bonds formed within our community often endure well beyond playing careers, highlighting the Jets as not merely a club, but a true extended family.
Since our inception, the Claremont Jets have accumulated an impressive record of achievements. With numerous state championships and consistent appearances in playoff competitions, our club has established a reputation for excellence and competitive spirit. Our championship victories are a testament not only to our strategic focus and athletic prowess but also to the extraordinary dedication of our coaching staff, volunteers, and supporters who tirelessly contribute to our ongoing success.
Our players regularly feature in state and national representative teams, bringing recognition and honour to the Jets. The success of individual players has contributed significantly to the club’s legacy, with alumni often returning to provide mentorship and coaching, ensuring a sustainable cycle of development and excellence.
Moreover, the Jets have consistently celebrated successes off the field, including community outreach programs, youth initiatives, and partnerships that promote American Football and healthy lifestyles across Perth. Our ongoing efforts to engage with local schools and community groups have been instrumental in introducing young athletes to the sport, fostering a new generation of passionate players.
As we look to the future, the Claremont Jets are committed to continuous growth, innovation, and community engagement. Our strategic vision includes expanding our youth and women’s programs, enhancing coaching resources, and increasing our community involvement to ensure American Football continues to thrive in Western Australia.
We recognise that the future success of the Jets depends heavily on attracting and nurturing new talent, strengthening our infrastructure, and maintaining our deep commitment to a family-oriented culture. Plans to enhance our training facilities, incorporate advanced training methodologies, and provide increased support for player wellness and development are central to our ongoing growth strategy.
The Jets remain dedicated to building on our rich heritage, leveraging our historical strengths to chart a course for sustained excellence. We invite new players, supporters, and community members to join us in shaping the future of American Football in Perth, sharing in our ambitions, celebrations, and ongoing achievements.
Together, we will continue to uphold the Jets’ proud legacy, setting new standards of excellence, fostering a vibrant sporting community, and inspiring future generations to pursue their passions and excel both on and off the field.
