Like all small rural towns, every town had persons wanting to participate in the leisure activity of Australian Rules Football, with Weabra's first media documented match summary appeared in June 1903 in a match against Federal Coghill's Creek.

Undaunted the club moved to the replacement competition that was larger in teams and distance in the need to travel.

With the dark shadow of war the club moved again this time to the Clunes FA for 1940.

After World War II, Waubra joined the Ballarat Football League but soon discovered that the standard was too high.

Four years later, the Clunes FL merged with the Ballarat and Bacchus Marsh Football League to form the Central Highlands Football League and Waubra was a founding club.
