club history

How it all started

Commencing in the 1999 football season the Rythdale-Officer-Cardinia (ROC) Football Club began exploring options to expand its junior teams (it had at the time U15 & U17 teams in the West Gippsland FL) as there was population growth expected in Officer and its surrounds, plus its neighboring clubs were already running junior teams in the DDJFL. The Officer Kangaroos JFC were formed in 2001 with the help of the ROC FC committee, past players plus parents and players from the Brentwood Park Auskick Committee who were looking for a pathway for their boys and girls that had outgrown their Auskick years.In 2001 the first two teams which were Under 10 and Under 12 took the field at the Starling Road ground under inaugural coaches were David Wing and Angelo Colosimo (see pictures below). In what is a short period of time since, the Club has since grown to fielding mixed teams, dedicated girls and boys teams from Under 8 through to Under 18's.
