Hawthorn Citizens Junior Banners - Celebrating Every Citizen's Milestone
The Hawthorn Citizens Junior Football Club is all about developing the next generation of footballers, and FootyBanners.com is here to help celebrate every step of that journey. Whether it's a first milestone or a grand final run, our custom Citizens banners make every moment count.
 
Simple to Order
Getting a Hawthorn Citizens banner is fast and straightforward. Choose from Single Player, Two Player, Team, or Grand Final banner styles. For player banners, just provide the player's name, surname, guernsey number, and milestone - for example, Connor Ellis, #17, 50 Games. All banners are printed with permanent inks on heavy-duty weatherproof paper, ready to handle the chill of a Melbourne winter morning at Victoria Road Reserve.
 
Two Players, One Banner
Two Citizens players celebrating the same milestone at the same time? Our Two Player Banner is the ideal way to mark the occasion together. Provide both players' names and guernsey numbers - the milestone game must match for both - and we'll create a quality banner worthy of the moment.
 
Team Banners for Group Celebrations
Our Team Banner covers 3 to 6 players and is ideal for end-of-season presentations and milestone rounds. A top-line message such as "Hawthorn Citizens Juniors - Season Champions" brings the whole celebration together and gives every player on the banner a lasting keepsake.
 
Wall Keepsake Banners
Available in Small, Medium, and Large, our Wall Keepsake Banners are printed on thick recyclable paper with waterproof inks. Whether they hang in the Citizens clubrooms or go home with a proud junior player, these banners are built to last well beyond the final siren.
 
Grand Final Banners
Available in 4.5m and 5.5m sizes, our Grand Final Banners can be fully customised with the Hawthorn Citizens Junior Football Club's own top and bottom text. Contact us for design advice and we'll help make sure the banner is perfect for the big day.

About Hawthorn Citizens Junior Football Club
Origins and Founding
The Hawthorn Citizens Junior Football Club - known affectionately as "Hawthorn Citz" - traces its origins to 1944, when the Hawthorn Citizens Youth Club was established in the inner-east Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn. The club began competing in organised junior football in 1992, affiliated with the Hawthorn District Junior Football League from 1992 to 1996. When the Yarra Junior Football League was formed in 1996, HCJFC made the move to that competition and has competed in the YJFL since 1997.

Club History
The Citizens are a prominent club within the Yarra Junior Football League, one of Victoria's most competitive metropolitan junior competitions. The club has produced elite-level talent, most notably Noah Anderson, who played his junior football at Hawthorn Citz before being selected with pick 2 in the 2019 AFL National Draft by the Gold Coast Suns. Anderson has since become one of the AFL's premier midfielders. The club also runs the Citz Umpire Academy, a dedicated program to develop junior umpires alongside the playing program - a commitment to the full ecosystem of Australian rules football that few junior clubs match.

Home Ground
The Citizens' club rooms and primary ground for under-10s to under-14s teams is Victoria Road Reserve on Victoria Road, Hawthorn East (VIC 3123) - a well-established suburban oval in the City of Boroondara. The youngest age groups (under-8s and under-9s) train and play at the historic Glenferrie Oval on Linda Crescent, Hawthorn, one of Melbourne's famous suburban football grounds. Youth and secondary fixtures for under-13s to under-16s are also played at Rathmines Road Reserve in Hawthorn East.

Community and Programs
HCJFC fields teams across all junior age groups from Auskick and under-8s through to under-16s, catering to boys and girls from the Hawthorn and broader Boroondara community. The club operates its Citz Umpire Academy to identify and develop young umpiring talent, providing a structured pathway for young people who want to be involved in the game beyond playing. The club encourages broad participation and is affiliated with the YJFL, one of the AFL Victoria metro competitions.

Hawthorn East
Hawthorn East is an inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne, located approximately 5 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD and forming part of the City of Boroondara local government area. The broader Hawthorn area is well known as the home of the Hawthorn Football Club and is characterised by heritage-listed streetscapes, Glenferrie Road's café strip, and proximity to the Yarra River and Freemasons Hospital. The area has a mix of established families, young professionals and students from nearby Swinburne University, making it one of Melbourne's most desirable inner-east precincts.
