Gungahlin Jets Australian Football and Netball Club is an Australian sports club based in Gungahlin, Australian Capital Territory. The Australian rules football squad competes in the AFL Canberra first grade competition.[1] The club also supports and has teams in all age groups from Auskick & AuskickPro, through to senior level. The netball component of the club competes in all age levels from junior to senior (adult) in Netball Australian Capital Territory.
The Gungahlin Jets were established in 1981 and entered the Monaro AFL division 2 competition in 1982.[2] The club won the MAFL division 2 premiership in their first season.
In 2014, the Liberal government withdrew a $66,000 grant for infrastructure funding provided by the previous Labor government, sparking a controversy. The club was burgled twice in a month; drinks and water bottles intended for fundraising were stolen, and on the second occasion, a television.[3]
The club anticipates fielding 500 players across senior, junior and women's divisions in the 2024 season.
