Please note that if you have never completed an MSJFL Registration - CLICK HERE, you will also need to complete one of these forms and forward it to the club with a copy of Birth Certificate. Also note that we will be holding a special information session for all new Hampton Rovers Members during our annual ROVERS Registration day (see below).

The Club is pleased to announce a series of new or updated policies will be in place for the 2012 year:

• Team Placement and Balancing has been updated based on the free movement of players rule in place for Under 15 and above, which will now be rolled out from Under 11 and above for 2012 by the SMJFL;
• New Parental Responsibilities document which provides information on the expectations of the club as part of registering your child for 2012;
• Casual Vacancy policy and process which details how the club will manage the process around your children being able to fill a vacancy in a team of a higher age group;
• Revised processes for registration which are summarised below.

We encourage all members and prospective members to familiarise themselves with these new policies. You can click on the links in above to access the details of the new policies.

New policies are in place for the processing of registrations for 2012.

1. Fees have been increased to $210 per player to cover a number of significant aspects of club operations. The increase in fees aims to cover new player-based levies from the MSJFL – in fact introduced in 2011 but not passed on by the club in 2011 – as well as meeting financial commitments for our revised Junior Match Committee and Technical Football Management roles which are being introduced to the club. Please click here for an explanation of our fee changes in 2012;
2. Our new registration process which aims at minimising the situations where too many players are allocated to a specific team and rotation of players on and off during the year is required. Please click here for an explanation of the new registration process for 2012;
3. Key to this new registration process is the establishment of a Priority List of registrations for all teams in 2012. By re-registering online before February 18, an existing HRAFC player will be effectively guaranteed a team place in 2012. Re-registrations following that date will be placed on the Normal List with new registrations, and whilst every endeavour will be made by the club, we will not be able to guarantee a placement for any registrations following this date. So get on register now!!!

The Hampton Rovers Football Club is proud to have one of the best junior set-ups of any club. At the Rovers, the number one priority is the enjoyment of all players. All players, of all abilities, are always more than welcome at our great club. In 2011, the Rovers fielded 16 junior teams (U9's through to U17's) which equated to over 400 players, with the addition of 40 odd Girls playing in the inaugural Girls competition. We also run an Auskick program which in 2011 had around 150 participants.

The Hampton Rovers junior teams participate in the Moorabbin Saints Junior Football League. In general, the younger teams (U9-U14) play their home games at our smaller ground - Castlefield Reserve in Ludstone Street while the U15's, U16's & U17's play at our main ground, Boss James Reserve, corner David Street and Bluff Road Hampton. Games are played on a Sunday however there are also several Friday Night games throughout the season.

Hampton Rovers Football Club is an enjoyable place for both players and parents to be around. We have regular social functions throughout the season including the traditional "At Home with the Rovers" which brings together all the teams, match reports are read out, food and drinks are available, and the parents can catch up. The club is also open Friday evenings and Sunday's for drinks. There's no better club than the Rovers to get involved in!

Having the advantage of a one-club set-up, the Hampton Rovers offer a full pathway for players. From starting off in Auskick, developing through the Juniors, and playing Senior Football at a high level (VAFA) all at the one club, while also having strong links with the Sandringham Dragons (TAC Cup) and Sandringham Zebras (VFL). The Rovers are a community club and one of the leading sporting club's in Bayside. Join us in 2012!
