Our story🐯
The Pittwater Junior AFL Club was founded in April 1970 as the Pittwater Australian Rules Football Club with the official uniform at formation being a yellow jumper with black sash & yellow & black hooped socks. We have a very proud history at the Tigers and proud of the role we play on the Northern Beaches peninsula and especially for Pittwater. We have won numerous Premierships across a number of different age groups over the years and have built a culture around being a family friendly local club.
We have strong values of Pride, Fun & Community Spirit and our club is run by passionate parents and volunteers. From coaches, team managers, ground managers and a club committee committed to growing our club into the future. In 2026 we will have over 250 young tigers and we have seen significant growth in both the younger groups of Auskick and Under 8’s, continuing growth in Youth Girls Footy and our newest offering of inclusive AFL aka ‘Kickability’ which is offered for the third year running. We welcome all kids across all age groups regardless of experience or ability

OUR INDIGENOUS GUERNSEYS
In 2024 the Pittwater Tigers JAFL redesigned the playing guernsey for the first time in the Club's 50 year history. The original design of the Tigers jumper was based on the Victorian based Richmond Tigers AFL Club but now we have a uniquely designed footy guernsey which represents us, the Pittwater Tigers.
When considering the new design, the Club wanted to connect and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land on which we play our great game and so we engaged aboriginal artist Rheanna Lotter to create a design reflective of our Club, our community, our values and our unique place on the Northern Beaches.
About the design
This artwork shares our story of the Pittwater Tigers. Featuring a meeting place in the middle representing the club. With one connection line coming in showing our past journeys and two lines that flow out. The two connection lines that leave our meeting place are a representation of the future and the possibilities that it provides for all connected to the Club.
The background features many details of our Aboriginal ancestors who have protected the land for thousands of years. Through the footprints, waterways and land, Aboriginal people continue to be a guiding light for how we need to look after our environment. The outside people (U symbols) represent all our Aboriginal ancestors who fought to protect the land and paved the way for our Aboriginal people.
The meeting place, our Club, is strong, bonded, and never breaking. With the lines never breaking and all of us united, the AFL community continues to stand by each other, take care of each other and always help each other. Our values within the club keep us strong. The U shapes are an Aboriginal symbol for people sitting down. As we connect and play, we feel safe, valued and have our voice within our meeting place.
LEARN OUR CLUB SONG 🎶
Our Tiger players love to sing our song loud and proud so make sure you learn the words and can sing along!
Oh we're from Tigerland
A fighting fury
We're from Tigerland
In any weather you will see us with a grin
Risking head and shin
If we're behind then never mind
We'll fight and fight and win
For we're from Tigerland.
We never weaken till the final siren's gone
Like the Tigers of old
We're strong and we're bold
For we're from Tiger (YELLOW & BLACK)
Oh We're from Tigerland.
