The Ascot Vale Panthers are a modern family football club home to one of the largest junior AFL football programs in the Essendon District. The club is over 125 years old having been established in 1898 and has won the second most senior A Grade Premierships in league history. The clubs focus is having a dedicated junior footy program which caters for multiple boys and girls teams in each age group. Our club strives to be the ideal selection for juniors starting new to footy whilst still supporting and challenging the most capable experienced players to be their best.

Ascot Vale Panthers respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our club is located – the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities who call Ascot Vale home.
