Club History
The Warnbro Swans Football Club was formed in 1985 to provide an opportunity for children in the then new and rapidly expanding Warnbro area to participate in junior football. As the area grew and the juniors got older, WSFC responded and fielded teams in Colts and eventually Senior competitions.
Today, along with Auskick, Junior and Senior teams Warnbro Swans fields teams in the Master’s Australian Football competition and most recently the Integrated Football competition supporting people with intellectual disabilities.
Through the efforts of many dedicated and selfless volunteers, Warnbro Swans exists today as one of the largest football clubs in the state, a strong, vibrant organisation providing opportunity for over thousands of people to participate in the great game of Australian Rules Football.
