2022 Under 9 Football and Netball Fixtures


The McDonald’s Ballarat FNL is pleased to release the 2022 Western Bulldogs Under 9 football fixtures, as well as the BFNL 9 & Under Go Netball fixture for the upcoming season.


We are pleased to again partner with the Western Bulldogs and hope to see a full year of competition for our Under 9 football competitions.

The partnership with the Western Bulldogs highlights the club’s commitment to the Ballarat region and development of the future stars of the Ballarat FNL.

Beginning on Friday 29th April, the Western Bulldogs Under 9 competition will again be showcased on a Friday night and run for 9 weeks in line with the term 2 school period, with all clubs to play each other once.

Modified rules will again be a feature of the competition with clubs hosting games played on four smaller ovals under lights.

This year also sees a growth in our under 9 competitions with the introduction of the BFNL 9 and Under Go Competition. Designed to tie in with the Net Set Go Netball program, players will participate in a modified version of netball.

Both clubs and the League recognised a gap in participation from Net Set Go programs to our junior competitions, and hope that the program will strengthen the retention of our younger players into official club competitions.

Where possible, football and netball will be hosted alongside each other, further cementing the League’s and Western Bulldogs philosophy for families of both boys and girls to participate in a competition built around fun, inclusiveness, and a wonderful family atmosphere!
