ABOUT

WHO ARE WE

We are an elite level football program in the Granville area, competing in the Men's State League and Regional Youth League competitions of Football NSW and with skills development programs for all ages as well as participating in the local Granville Association League.

Our aim is to bring football to our local residents in an affordable and accessible way. Granville is known as the birthplace of Australian football, and we continue a proud tradition that dates back to the 1800s. Granville teams throughout the years have produced players of the highest calibre, with Granville alumni playing for the State, A League and country.

Our hope is to continue those heady times and to help our local talent reach the pinnacle of our sport.

HISTORY OF THE RAGE

Starting out as Western Rage and competing only in the Senior competition at Division 2.

Initially based at Prairiewood, Rage experienced rapid advancement through Division 1 and into Super League. The aims of the organisation were to have a pathway from junior football to seniors, giving the club a continuing nursery of talent and helping young footballers to develop. Unfortunately, being based originally in Southern Districts Association where there was a abundance of Youth League Clubs meant that we couldn't have our own junior program.

Just when it seemed as though Youth League would be an impossible dream, a lifeline emerged. Granville Association had been competing in Youth League but wanted to focus their management efforts on local clubs and the Under 11/12 competitions. After some negotiation, Western Rage was
re-branded as Granville Rage, and re-located to F.S. Garside Park. This meant that the district that was regarded as the birthplace of football in this country had - for the first time in many years - a State League operation bearing its name. The partnership continues to this day.
