Yes, we offer a Payment Plan facility for our Winter competition that allows you to pay your Registration Package fees off in regular Direct Debit transactions from your bank.
We are doing our best to keep your fees as low as possible, but this means there is very little margin left to absorb defaulters’ debts. This unfortunately means manual instalment payments we no longer accepted. All payment plans have to be finalised by 31 May for Winter registration packages. The upfront payment is set at 50% and the rest can then be set up as payment plan, allowing you small payments to be made till the final due date of 31 May.
For Summer competition, there is no option of payment plans. The Fee has to be paid upfront. Active Kids vouchers can be used for eligable registrations,
Your child’s team is determined by the age they turn in the season. E.g. if your child turns 8 at any time during the calendar year, they will be in Under 8’s. There are allowances for skilled players to ‘play up’ a year and that can be discussed with the club officials.
Ages are grouped as follows:
This varies year by year, but generally:
Yes. Our club runs a 10-week Summer Competition from October to mid-December.
All players are required to wear soccer boots, club socks, shin pads, club shorts and club shirt. Boots and shin pads can be purchased at most good sports stores. Club socks and shorts can be purchased at the club. We strongly recommend that each player is bringing a soccer ball to training and for warm up for game days. The correct size for U5 to U9 is a size 3 ball, for U10 to U13 size 4 ball and U14 and up uses size 5 balls. The club shirt will be given to the Team Manager and handed out each week before the game.
For the Summer competition, you will need to provide your own shirt as well
No, it’s not essential but we highly recommend attending these if the time suits. They are a fantastic way for your child to learn some extra skills and progress faster.
We grade the Junior Wolves (Under 12 to Under 18) that play in Division 1.
Other teams will only be graded if there are enough players to form more than one team per age group.
Unfortunately, we do not know the numbers until the final clubhouse information day, so all players are required to attend. An announcement will be made at that time if Grading for the Age Group is on or not.
Small sided games may be played if there are only numbers for a single team to decide which division the team should be nominated in.
This will be announced at the Team Allocations or as we recently call it, our Muster Days:
The dates and times will appear in the calendar on the home page.
At the commencement of each allocation session, the President/ Committee Member will explain some key information and then either ask teams to form (Pups and Seniors) or announce the Junior Wolves teams.
We prefer that teams in the Pups group (Under 5 to Under 11) form themselves. Coaches are encouraged to form their teams before Team Allocations, however this is not always practical so at Team Allocation, the committee will assist each player finding a team. Team Allocation for Pups is normally the Saturday after the last clubhouse information day.
Junior Wolves are formed as a result of Grading or if there are only enough to form a single team, based on numbers. The teams are announced at Team Allocation day, generally the Saturday after Pups.
Senior Wolves form themselves on Team Allocation days, the committee will assist individual players finding a team. This is usually the Sunday following Junior Wolves.
Once the teams are identified, a committee member will work with each team to identify a Coach and Team Manager and explain the expectation of these roles. Once this is done, the team then decides the most suitable day and time for training. The Coach picks up the team match kit which contains training equipment and the playing shirts. During this time, the Team Manager confirms everyones contact details for their records.
Once all that is done, the players/parents can purchase equipment/merchandise from the canteen.
Please check the website for Allocation Dates/Times.
Training can start as early as the first week after team allocations. Training is held on a day and time as agreed between the volunteer Coach and the Players/Parents.
Summer Competition
On the website, click on ‘Fixtures/ Results’ menu and then either the Winter (year) or Summer (year) link to SportsTG. Once there, look for your team. We also recommend discussing the use of Facebook chat group or a What's app with your Coach/Manager, it is a great tool to help you.
Fixture times are decided by the Macarthur Football Association and can change up until the day before play, so best to always double check.
Note: Fixtures are not normally released until late March.
Each club publishes their field allocation differently, your Coach or Team Manager will normally arrive before you and check where your game is. Keep in touch with them to find out the exact details. You can also ask a Ground Official at any ground, they will generally be wearing a yellow high visibility vest.
Under all circumstances, training and games will be on unless you are told they are off!
For Game Days: Each team will be notified by our Competition Secretary whenever games are cancelled due to wash outs or forfeits. If our fields are closed, then games at our ground are off.
For Training: If the fields are closed, there is to be no training. If the fields are open, speak to your coach.
Our website is always kept up to date with the information as soon as we are aware of it and the field status of our fields is shown on the home page, in the top right.
If our fields are closed, there is to be no training.
