Boasting 140 juniors, of which one third are female, from the Auskick (U-4s) to Superkick (U-12s) the Magpies are ready to grow their nest at Memorial Oval. Their home venue recently received a $1.8M upgrade in, which includes a state-of-the-heart amenities building.
“We are extremely proud of our Club and what we have achieved over the years, we pride ourselves on providing a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for kids, our parents and families to come and enjoy a social environment as well as a footy environment,” said the Club’s Committee Registrar, Kylie Jarvis, when speaking to the GWS GIANTS website.
“Training nights and Sundays at Memorial Oval have a great community vibe, which is the most important thing.”
For the other U13’s to 15’s age groups, the Magpies formed a South West Sydney alliance with the Liverpool Eagles, Bankstown Bullsharks, Macarthur Bulldogs and South West Tigers. For U17’s age groups, the Magpies are also part of an alliance representative team called the South West Devils.
While proud to be a community club, the Magpies also provide a genuine pathway for those who want to play footy at the elite level.
The Magpies have a close affiliation with the GWS GIANTS, whose highly regarded Academy provides the opportunity for those with special talents to take their game to the next level.
The likes of Cooper Pritchard, Michael Clarke, Kiera Eagles, Keisha Prasad, Emme Langdon, Sully Odwyer, Archie Houston, Jack Obrien, Hudson Prenter, Ethan Matthews, Brynley Ryan and Annabelle McHale to name just a few, are currently part of the GWS GIANTS U-15s to U-18s Academy.
Magpies President Shannon Prenter was proud of the strong relationship the Magpies have with the GIANTS.
“We are extremely proud of the kids who have decided to take their footy to another level. Many of them are GIANTS fans and it’s so nice to see them be able to pursue their dream by joining the GIANTS Academy,” said Prenter to the GWS GIANTS website.
“It’s important for kids in this part of the world to see there is a Club that represents them, and a Club they can play for at the AFL and AFLW levels that represents their community. The community they grow up in and a community they will always be connected too.
“Regardless of whether our kids play for the GIANTS, we love seeing families from the Campbelltown region turning up at Engie Stadium to cheer on the GIANTS.
“It’s important that kids see an AFL and AFLW club that represents them on a national stage.
“Along with the great support from the AFL and the GWS GIANTS and our many volunteers, male and female, we have been able to create a competitive, relevant, sustainable and successful program that has enabled opportunity and importantly a pathway through to senior football for the entire Western and South West Sydney region.”
A number of Magpies and South West Sydney players have also made their way to senior footy, playing for the South West Sydney Blues in the AFL NSW Premier Division competition.
The Magpies want to be part of a resurgence of Aussie Rules football in Western Sydney. In 2025, there were more than 14,000 participants in Western Sydney, with a 250% increase in Auskick (ages 4-6) and Superkick (ages 7-12) participants.
Kids receive a $100 Play Your Way vouchers which can be used to pay for registration fees.
As with all sporting clubs, the Magpies rely on volunteers to stay alive and provide the opportunity for kids to play footy. The Magpies are seeking committee members and sponsorships for 2026, and anyone interested can email: aflingleburn@bigpond.com
