About
The Caroline Springs Lakers compete in the Western Football Netball League.
On May 15, 2002, Mark Penaluna, the General Manager of WRFL and other officials met with principals of local schools to discuss developing the game of football in the Caroline Springs area. From this meeting it was decided to hold a public interest meeting on June 19, 2002. With such a great turnout, it was obvious that the people wanted a club in Caroline Springs.
A steering committee was formed and met every two weeks from then onwards to incorporate the Caroline Springs Football Club. A relationship was developed with the Williamstown (VFL) & Collingwood to help develop football in the area. The steering committee agreed that the club colours will be those of the two clubs being Black, White, Royal Blue & Gold.
Developers of the Caroline Springs community, Delfin, also agreed to assist financially to help the club with their start-up costs.
The club started fielding sides in the WRFL underage competitions. As the players got older the club started fielding sides in the older age group. Finally in 2011 the Club fielded their first open aged team in the WRFL Division 2 competition.
