The club will celebrate the completion of its 25th year - and two players from the foundation team are still going strong.
Steve Markham and Rick Kresevic played in the Club's very first game in 1995, and they both continue to figure regularly in a Jamberoo FC shirt.
Rick is particularly proud to be still competing.
"My philosophy has always been to have a go and as long as my body is up to it and my teammates want me, I'll play," he said.
Jamberoo FC has grown over the past two seasons - with two new ladies teams, the club now fields seven adult sides.
Club President Steve Whitworth said they were excited at the prospect of finally having home ground facilities.
"We are proud to reflect that, as a club based in a rural setting, so many people enjoy playing their sport with us here in Jamberoo," he said.
"And, after 25 years of changing under the canopy of a tree, we are delighted that plans are now advanced for permanent changing facilities to be build at our home ground, Keith Irvine Oval."
The celebrations climax at the club's annual presentation night on Saturday, September 21 at Jamberoo School of Arts.
Special guest Simon Hill from Fox Sports will be a speaker at the event.
Former players and supporters are being encouraged to join the celebrations at Jamberoo FC's Presentation Night.
Anyone interested should call Club Secretary Danny Gades on 0402 269457 for more details and tickets.
