Our story is unique amongst NGO’s in Australia. We are truly responsive, embedded within the community. John Moriarty was the first Indigenous player to be selected to represent Australia.

John and his son James founded JMF in 2012 to introduce a world best practice training and playing program to the supremely talented young Indigenous athletes of remote Australia.

The Big Picture

An education is crucial to any child’s life. Therefore school attendance is front and centre at JMF. John Moriarty football takes into account school attendance at every level of our operation, including participation, vocational training courses for senior students, and tour selection.
