† The ground’s suburb is shared with a neighbouring council, so the club may sit just over the boundary. From each league’s current club list, checked September 2026. Clubs change leagues and divisions between seasons; the league is right if this is not.
Which SANFL zone your club is in

Set it up for your club in Mitcham
Four things, in the order the app asks them. The footy calendar and conditions are on the Adelaide guide.
Choose footy, then your team nights
Onboarding asks “When do you train with your team?” Pick your club nights — Adelaide Footy League or wherever you play — and your gym and conditioning are scheduled around them, lighter the day after a big one. Tell it your equipment and any niggles and every exercise is fitted to both.
Match the program to your league’s start
The app treats March as the start of the footy season. SANFL and community footy in South Australia starts in April, so you can hold the pre-season through March by setting the phase yourself. The phase lives in Program → Your year.
Know your numbers on day one
Your first testing session is ready immediately: 2km time trial, Bench press 1RM, Max pull-ups, Trap-bar deadlift 1RM, Running vertical jump. It is re-run every 8 weeks, and the results re-price your training weights and conditioning paces.
Put your suburb on the board
In Social → Town, set where you train. Your minutes count toward that town’s weekly conditioning and strength top-10 boards — only the town is kept, never your location.
