Men’s Masters Team
Football doesn’t have to finish when your open-age playing days wind down. The Pennant Hills Demons Masters program gives men aged 35 and over the opportunity to keep playing, stay active and remain connected to a welcoming football community.
Competing in AFL Sydney’s Masters competition, our team brings together players with different backgrounds, abilities and levels of experience. Some have played football for decades, others are returning after time away, and some are discovering Australian Rules football later in life. What connects them is a desire to enjoy the game, contribute to a team and share the experience with their mates later in life.
Competitive Football, Played in the Right Spirit
Masters football retains the skills, teamwork and competitive challenge that make Australian Rules football rewarding, with modified rules designed to encourage participation and reduce injury risks for players. Respect for teammates, opponents and umpires is central to the competition, with sportsmanship and enjoyment valued alongside on-field performance.
Games are played fortnightly, providing more recovery time between matches and a different playing commitment from the weekly Open-Age competitions. Age-based participation limits per team apply to players aged 35–39, so prospective players in this bracket should contact the club to discuss opportunities.
Keep Developing Your Game
Our Masters program offers opportunities to maintain and improve your skills, build match fitness and develop your understanding of team structures. Whether you are an experienced footballer adapting your game or a returning player rebuilding confidence, the focus is on making a worthwhile contribution and continuing to improve.
Training and match days also provide a reason to get outdoors, stay active and work towards a shared goal. Players bring their experience and encouragement to the group, helping create an environment where everyone has something to offer.
More Than Just Match Day
The friendships and connection around Masters football are an important part of the experience. Joining the Demons means becoming part of the wider Pennant Hills football community, sharing in club life and maintaining the team spirit that keeps people involved long after their first season.
There are also opportunities to contribute beyond playing. Team management, match-day assistance and other volunteer roles allow supporters and former players to remain involved and help the program thrive.
Get Involved
Whether you’re keen to play regularly, interested in returning for a few games or would like to help off the field, we’d love to hear from you. Contact our Master’s Coach to discuss your experience, availability and how you can become part of the Pennant Hills Demons Masters program.
