About Rumbalara
Rumbalara Football and Netball Club is more than just a sporting club. Rumbalara which means ‘end of the rainbow’ is the spiritual and cultural home of Goulburn Valley’s Aboriginal community - the people of the Yorta Yorta.
An active facilitator of reconciliation and a leader in community wellbeing of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, Rumbalara seeks to enrich the Aboriginal and Greater Shepparton community as a whole.
Rumbalara is dedicated to strengthening the community and bringing families together through strong vibrant leadership. It is a place of belonging, a place that people of all ages and backgrounds can call their own.
Like all country sporting clubs Rumbalara celebrates the history and passions that represent the uniqueness of its community. Rumbalara traces its history back to 1898 when Cumeragunja Football Club won its first premiership.
Since Rumbalara’s induction into the Central Goulburn Football League in 1997 Rumbalara Football and Netball Club has celebrated premiership success across its eight teams. In 2005 the B-Reserve Netball side and the Seniors and Under-14 football sides made the Grand Final with the U14s football team bringing home the premiership.
But the success of the club extends far beyond the sporting arena to improvements in the physical and emotional health, education and employment of Rumbalara's members and their families.
Rumbalara has created an environment where indigenous people, especially youth are inspired and encouraged to actively participate in sporting community that Rumbalara provides, as well as providing an opportunity to participate in the social and non-competitive aspects of this community.
Everyone is welcome at Rumbalara.
