Junior Social Football

Junior Travelling Social Teams are for children who aren’t selected for one of Development teams or who would prefer to play a more social level of football. Teams will be put together based on schools they attend, team from prior years (if any) and requests to play with friends. These teams will play grading games at the start of the season and subsequently be placed in an appropriate level of competition.

The football season will play over term 2 and term 3 of the school calendar. Start date is May and will finish end of September. There will be no football over the first two weekends of the July school holidays but there will be football on the last weekend of the holidays.

Grading is strictly based on the year of birth: (2024 Season):

2014 - U10 Grade | 2013 – U11 Grade | 2012 – U12 Grade
