All ages are as at 31 December 2007 (eg: If a player was 12 on 31/12/07, that player is an U13.

Under 5 & Under 6
These comps are played in-house by those clubs with enough players to sustain a comp. If you have a team or two, we can put you in touch and join in with others.

Under 7 & Under 8
These play Modified Soccer (Six-a-Side) and can register up to 9 Players per team. There are 2 or 3 categories in each zone (A, B, C). A is for experienced, returning and stronger teams. B is for those teams where the majority of players are new. C is for U7 where the majority of players are U5s or U6s. The categories are not strictly enforced, but are guidelines to assist with where to put them. Putting them in the wrong group only hurts the kids in all teams. Note there are no records / results kept in these age groups and there are no finals. There are carnival days at the end of the season though.
