Mission
History of The Rage...
​
Starting out as Western Rage and competing only in the Senior competition at Division 2.
Initially based at Prairiewood, Rage experienced rapid advancement through Division 1 and into Super League. The aims of the organisation were to have a pathway from junior football to seniors, giving the club a continuing nursery of talent and helping young footballers to develop. Unfortunately, being based originally in Southern Districts Association where there was a abundance of Youth League Clubs meant that we couldn't have our own junior program.
Just when it seemed as though Youth League would be an impossible dream, a lifeline emerged. Granville Association had been competing in Youth League but wanted to focus their management efforts on local clubs and the Under 11/12 competitions. After some negotiation, Western Rage was re-branded as Granville Rage, and re-located to F.S. Garside Park.
This meant that the district that was regarded as the birthplace of football in this country had - for the first time in many years - a State League operation bearing its name. The partnership continues to this day.
