Claremont Jets: A Proud Legacy of Strength and Perseverance in Gridiron West

In 1999, the Claremont Jets claimed the WA State Championship title in the newly established Gridiron West League, setting the tone for a legacy of determination and community spirit. Throughout the 2000s, the Jets solidified their team with a stable player base and dedicated personnel. Although fewer finals appearances marked these years, the club’s commitment remained unshaken, embodying the motto, “Once a Jet, always a Jet.” As other clubs came and went, the Claremont Jets held their place as the Western Suburbs’ gridiron team.

In 2005, the Junior Claremont Jets made their debut season, building a foundation for young talent in Western Australian gridiron. Though wins were scarce in the early years, the Junior Jets quickly improved, becoming serious contenders by the 2010s with steady gains each season. The club’s commitment to excellence paid off in 2015/2016, as the juniors reached the grand final, falling just short against the Rockingham Vipers. Today, the Jets continue to inspire players of all ages, united by a legacy of perseverance and a strong sense of community.
