The Claremont Jets was formed in 1989 as part of an expanding Western Australia Gridiron Football League (WAGFL), with the fundamental ethos of getting away from the American bullshit that seems to follow this sport. Admittedly, being an American sport, it seems a bit of a contradiction, but the Jets play Gridiron as Australians playing Gridiron, not like wannabe Americans playing Gridiron.

The club focuses on playing and enjoying our football as a team. When things aren't going our way we pull together as a team, rather than bitch at one another, and get on with the job. At the end of the day , win lose or draw, the Jets will enjoy themselves as only the Jets do, and this is another reason why the club has remained so strong for so long. Admittedly, it is more enjoyable when you win.

This spirit has set the club in good stead with many a come from behind win, two of which have been Championship games to the tune of 22 to 6 and 28 to 6 down at the start of the second half to come back for the win. The Jets are also the most successful WA team in terms of championships won, with the current Championship tally standing at 5. These included 4 in a row for the 92/93, 93/94, 94/95 & 95/96 seasons in the WAGFL and a win in the 98/99 season in the new state league - Gridironwest . The team has made the finals series 13 times in its 17 year history.
