Our Story….

EST 2016

Brisbane Valley Rattlers Australian Football Club is aiming to be the pre-eminent place to play, watch and be involved in AFL within the greater Somerset Region. Brisbane Valley Rattlers AFC are located at Fernvale Sports Park on the Brisbane Valley Highway.

Brisbane Valley Rattlers AFC are entering our seventh season of operation in 2023 with the hope of the following Junior teams, Under 8.5’s, Under 9.5’s, Under 10.5’s and Under 11.5’s (Mixed) and Under 9.5’s and Under 11.5’s (All Girls - if there is the interest). We are planning to expand the club into Youth football with Under 13.5’s Mixed in 2023!

Brisbane Valley Rattlers had success with our first Senior Men’s team in 2022, and we hope to expand this and include a Women’s team in 2023 as well.

Our mission is to promote the game of AFL across the Somerset Region to all age groups by working with the community to develop an understanding of the importance of participation and by developing a coaching culture based on the principle of learning and fair play. We invest time in Auskick and Superstars (Brisbane Lions Zone) programs, and maintain a positive attitude to our stakeholders, the children. We are fair in the application of our Club rules and ensure there is financial discipline pertaining to all Club expenditure. We respect all ideas and views.

Rattlers are Courageous, Honest and Proud!
