About Us
We are a local football club known as the Bluetongues, started in 2003 by a group of parents in Alphington whose kids enjoyed playing soccer at Alphington Park.
Some of our founding members are still involved with the club.
​
From very casual beginnings, this group of kids and parents has evolved into a formal club. Alphington FC now fields tens of teams, running programs for five-year-olds up.​​​
We are a community-orientated club focused on the development of our members, as players and as people. We aim to have fun, to be inclusive, and to have competitive teams.
​
The Bluetongues are the only all-ages football club in Alphington. Our home ground is at Alphington Park. We play teams from across Melbourne’s inner and outer northern suburbs. Our members and volunteers are committed to a strong future for our club through being welcoming and supportive of all children (and their families), teenagers, adults and veterans who want to learn and play football. We are a family-friendly environment where parents can relax while their children have fun playing football with their mates, learn the games skills and disciplines, and understand values such as personal effort and teamwork.​

We have an active coaching program involving volunteer parents and our younger players who have an interest in becoming a coach.
Get in touch if you would like to learn more. Coming down to training is a good way to get a feel for the Club and we welcome visitors to our training sessions.
