Preparing for  Season 2027 

There’s a lot to look forward to at Floreat Athena in 2027.

With pathways from Clusters and MiniRoos through to Junior and Senior football, Athena offers players the opportunity to learn, develop and enjoy their football within one of WA’s most established football clubs.

Our junior program combines quality coaching, clear player pathways and opportunities for players at different levels of the game - whether your child is taking their first steps in football, looking for a competitive pathway or simply wants to play with their mates and be part of a great club.

With a growing girls’ program, continued investment in coach development and facilities, and our senior teams returning to NPL football in 2027, it’s an exciting time to be part of Athena.

Volunteering at Athena

Volunteering is central to junior football at Floreat Athena. Each team relies on parents and supporters to step into roles such as coach, assistant coach, team manager and match-day support, as well as club roles in events, equipment, communications and administration.

Our Volunteer Policy now includes a positive incentive program that recognises and rewards families who contribute their time and skills. Whether you can take on a key role or help in a flexible, one-off capacity, your involvement makes a real difference to our players and teams.

Our Volunteer guide can help you to decide which role is right for you.

To get involved, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and let us know how you’d like to help.
