The Newcastle Jets are the footballing heroes of over 650,000 locals in Newcastle, The Hunter and Northern NSW. The Jets are seeking to grow on and off the pitch, bringing pride to their legions of fans and chasing the type of success last tasted in 2008.
To help the Jets re-connect with the community, Greater Bank joined forces with the club as the Major Community Partner in 2015.
Central to this has been the establishment of the Jets:CONNECT program, which was born off the back of community and member feedback. The program aims to re-establish the all-important ties between football at the local level and at the nation's highest level and has enabled the club to reach more than 5,500 aspiring young footballers across the Hunter and throughout Northern NSW.
The Newcastle Jets spent the final weekend of winter in warmer weather, jetting to the Gold Coast for pre-season hit-outs against Hyundai A-League rivals Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory.
The Newcastle Jets A-League squad has hosted 400 aspiring young footballers from across Dubbo and Orange in two exclusive Jets:PLAY skills clinics.
It’s on again! The Newcastle Jets Community Match will be held on Saturday, 6 April at McDonald Jones Stadium when the home side takes on the Western Sydney Wanderers.
