Club Information
The Henley Sharks Football Club is an Australian Rules Football organisation playing in Adelaide's "South Australian Amatuer Football League". It has been providing “kick and a catch” opportunities for Adelaide westerners in one form or another since at least 1906.
Location...
The club is based at the Henley & Grange Memorial Oval located on Atkin Street, Henley Beach, South Australia. Its beautiful location with great facilities and scenery is only minutes away from the beach and the popular Henley Square.
Our football teams...
We have 4 senior football teams, an Under 18's team and 8 junior football teams for the kids. We even provide a team for our over 35 star players known as the SHOC Sharks. Once a year for our even older past players we provide an annual one game only "Slowdown" match for our former stars to catch up and have a kick.
Thats over 250 players.
Training Nights...
All teams train 2 nights a week. Seniors on Mondays for Division 6, Tuesdays for Division 1 and Thursday nights for both divisions. Our junior teams train every Wednesdays and Fridays. Any new players are always welcome.
Game days...
Games are played on weekends with Senior teams on Saturdays and the Juniors on Sundays including the Under 18s. The over 35's team play every fortnight on Sunday afternoons. With games played on both days of the weekend the we encourage local people of all ages to come down to the ground, known as ‘Shark Park’, to watch our teams, meet some great people, and have nice day out in within your local community.
