Frequently Asked Questions about AJFC Playing Kit
How and when can I order my AJFC playing kit (shorts and socks)?
Full detail on how to order your playing kit shorts and socks is available via our How to Order Playing Kit Guide located at the bottom of this page. The Club will provide you with a confirmed Voucher Code via email for your football kit. You can and should order your football playing kit as soon as you receive your voucher.
I have more than one AJFC player in my family, can I place a single order for all of the football kit we need?
Yes. You can order each players’ playing kit in a single order by adding all the shorts and socks you need to the order and entering the each of the associated Voucher Codes for each player in the designated order field. The Club recommends this approach to minimise delivery costs associated with sourcing playing multiple playing kits for families.
Can I choose my playing kit jersey number?
No. While we understand that players have preferred jersey numbers, in a Club of our size we must adopt an efficient number allocation process using 2 to 99 across our age divisions (and 1 for goalkeepers). Jerseys will be allocated to players by their team coach and manager once collected from the Club.
How do I know what size shorts and socks to order?
The Club retains a set of sample jerseys, shorts and sock sizes for players to try on at the Club Shed. Dates as to when try-on sessions are conducted will be published via the AJFC website, Club email and AJFC social media.
I need to order playing kit shorts for my daughter – do I order Unisex sizing or Women’s size shorts?
AJFC playing kit shorts come in two different designs – Unisex shorts are intended for junior and youth players (boys and girls) and male players up to adult. Female shorts are available in adult women’s sizes starting from XS WOMENS (Size 8). Women’s shorts are a specific design for female adult players which are shorter in length than their equivalent size in Unisex. For comparison purposes, Unisex size 16 shorts are of a similar overall size to Women’s XS size 8 shorts.
I’m a dedicated goalkeeper. Can I order a goalkeeper jersey/kit?
Yes, you can. However, please note that all junior and youth teams will be provided with a goalkeeper jersey for their team.

If you are a dedicated goalkeeper and would prefer a goalkeeper kit, please contact the Club at info@abbotsfordjuniorsfc.com.au.
Do junior and youth teams need a player to purchase a goalkeeper jersey/kit?
No, the Club will provide a goalkeeper jersey for those junior teams that need one, even if they have a dedicated goalkeeper.

Players should ensure they complete registration with Abbotsford Juniors Football Club in Dribl no later than the date advised by the Club.

I have ordered the wrong size playing kit (shorts or socks) – what can I do?
The Club maintains a limited supply of shorts and socks at its Club Shed located at Campbell Park. If you find that the kit you have ordered and had delivered is the wrong size, please bring it to the Club Shed where we will look to exchange it for a suitable size (subject to availability). No kit, no exchange.
