ABOUT THE JETS
Perth's original American Football club. Founded 1988, still going strong.
OUR STORY
SINCE 1988
The Claremont Jets were founded in 1988 - one of the founding clubs of gridiron in Western Australia. It began when a small group of players taught themselves American football from scratch, before becoming part of the newly formed Western Australia Gridiron Football League in 1989.
The club achieved significant success through the 1990s and 2000s, building a reputation as one of the state's most established gridiron programs. In 2005 the Jets launched a junior program, which has since grown into a genuine competitive pathway for the next generation of players.
Today the Jets field junior and men's teams in the Gridiron West competition - still guided by the same idea that got the club started: give every player, at every level, a real way into the sport.
