The club is based in the small Victorian locality of Katandra. Katandra is currently coached by 2009 and 2010 Best & Fairest Daniel O'Reilly.
The club has been quite successful over the past decade. Winning premierships in all grades of football and many grades of netball. The most recent Senior premiership was in 2004, whilst the A Grade netball team won their first premiership in 2009. The Senior team continues the remarkable feat of completing the past 8 seasons with no worse finish than being Preliminary Finalists. This 8 season streak includes 2 Premierships, 3 Runners Up and 3 Preliminary Finals losses.
Katandra's 32 grand final appearances resulting in 17 senior premierships in 61 seasons is a remarkable achievement, which is probably unequalled by any senior football team in Australia.
