Pac Power was originally formed as a satellite club of the Labrador Tigers in 2005. During that first year, we managed to field an Under 9’s and an Under 10’s team. 2006 saw us add a few Super 8’s to our Club list to increase our numbers to just 25. Since then the Club has grown substantially and by the end of the 2009 season we had over 130 players registered with Pac Power.

Due to this growth and strong volunteer base, Club members voted for Pacific Pines Junior AFL Club to exist as a separate entity; therefore at the end of 2007 we became an incorporated association. Although we are no longer a satellite club of Labrador we still have strong links with the Tigers and will remain their feeder club. This association will ensure our juniors have a direct path to playing seniors in the future, so we hope this connection between the two clubs remains strong.

The small ground at Wajin Park, Pacific Pines Boulevard was our home for the first four years of operation. In 2009 Pac Power moved to a full sized AFL oval at McAuley Parade, Pacific Pines. This larger sports field  gave players and coaches the much needed space required for training, which was not available at Wajin Park. Pac Power can now play modified games simultaneously and more importantly a full sized oval will allow the Club to field youth age teams.

This year’s executive committee is:

·         President            Garry Goodman

·         Vice President    Peter Himber

·         Treasurer            Kellie Van Spronsen

·         Secretary            Tracey Major

Coming off a great 2009, where we were named Gold coast Juniors club of the year, we are committed to keep improving each year to make Pacific Pines one of the best family friendly AFL clubs around. AFL Queensland are committed to grow football in our region and with the new GC football club really ramping up this year, it will be a very exciting time to be a part of our club.

 We, the Committee, along with a dedicated and enthusiastic group of volunteers and coaches, will work to ensure that the Pacific Pines Australian Rules Football Club remains a Club that firstly gives kids the opportunity to learn and develop AFL skills but also encourages fair play, sportsmanship, team work and most of all fun.
