Welcome to the Dookie United Football Netball Club.

On behalf of our committee, players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters, I'm proud to welcome you to our club and community. Dookie United is built on strong country values – connection, commitment, and a genuine passion for football and netball.

Our club proudly fields Senior and Reserves football teams, along with a thriving junior program from Auskick through to Under 17, and a complete netball pathway from Under 11 through to our senior teams. This structure ensures we are not only competitive, but also focused on developing our people from the ground up and keeping our community connected across all age groups.

At Dookie United, we are more than just a sporting club. We are a place where friendships are formed, families come together, and lifelong memories are created. Whether you're a player, parent, volunteer, sponsor, or supporter, you are an important part of what makes our club special.

We are committed to providing a positive, inclusive, and welcoming environment where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, grow, and enjoy being involved. Our volunteers are the backbone of our club, and we are incredibly grateful for the time and energy they give to ensure we continue to thrive.

I encourage you to get involved, support our teams, and be part of the Dookie United journey.

We look forward to seeing you around the club.

Go Dookie!
