Yes, we do accept the Active Kids vouchers.

Granville Districts Soccer and Football Association, Football NSW and Football Australia require that all players, coaches and managers must have a completed registration in order to participate. 

In addition to the rules set out by the governing bodies for all clubs, our players, coaches, managers and club officials are also covered by the Football NSW Insurance Program, which includes Personal Accident insurance for appropriately registered players and/or non-playing officials that are injured while engaged in activities sanctioned by Football NSW. 

Further details about the Football NSW Insurance Program can be found here. There are additional top up cover options available. Contact Football NSW or check your emails for information that may have been sent to you at the beginning of the season. 

For these reasons, all players, coaches, managers and other club officials must be registered and registration complete (including payments) before they can participate.

The Winter competition season starts in April, and finishes by late August.

Our teams start training before the start of the season, typically by late February or early March. 

Some of the teams (i.e.: youth and adult) may also train outside of the season and throughout summer. Contact your teams coach or manager if unsure.

Training sessions are run at our home ground at Webbs Avenue, Auburn. 

The location of the games are listed on the match schedule which is available on the Fixtures page, or you can download the Dribl mobile app to follow your team. See the instructions at the Download the Dribl app page.

The matches on each week can be at a different field, including at our home ground at Webbs Avenue, and other home grounds of teams that are part of Granville and Districts Soccer Football Assocation (GDSFA). The field locations are often within the Auburn and Granville local area, but sometimes can be at different fields typically within a 25 minute drive.

Training is twice per week, but the day and time can be different for the different teams. For example, the MiniRoos and younger players may be training at earlier times, whilst the adult teams may start later. Check with your teams coach or manager, or contact the head coach if unsure.

Weather can have an impact on the training and game schedules. Generally the fields are closed in wet weather, and that is usually determined by the local councils. 

Extreme heat can also cause for training and games to be cancelled for the health and safety of the children. 

Our coaches and managers will advise the team of any training and game cancellations.

The age group is determine based on the age of the child at the beginning of the calendar year. 

For example, if your child is turning (or has turned) 10 this year, but on January 1st they were 9 years old, then your child will be playing in the under 10 team. Although your child may have already turned 10, because they were 9 at the beginning of the calendar year (on January 1st), they are automatically registered to play in the under 10 team. 

MiniRoos is designed for kids of all abilities, aged 4 – 11 years. The nation-wide initiative uses short, game-based sessions to introduce the sport of football to newcomers in an inclusive way. It focuses on learning new skills, being active, making life-long friends and, potentially, unearthing the next generation of Socceroos or Matildas.

The youngest age for a child to participate at Auburn FC and in our MiniRoos teams is 5 years old. Unfortunately we cannot accept children that are 4 and under into club football programs. 

There are non-competitive introductory programs in the Auburn area which are designed for younger children (as young as 3 years old) to introduce the sport and begin learning skills, whilst keep them active and engaged in a safe environment. This can be a great start for your child, and we would love to see them come play in our teams once they are 5. If you have any questions or unsure where to find the programs, come speak to a member of our club or one of our MiniRoos coaches. 

We try to keep children, friends and families together in the same teams as much as possible as we understand it is easier for both the parents and children to have others they know in the same team. We do try to accomodate for these, however there can be cases where it just may not be possible. 

For example, if the children are different ages and we need to place the child into the right team for their age group.

This should be seen as a great opportunity to help develop not just your child’s football skils, but their social skills by meeting new people and helping then to make more new friends in a safe environment. 

Football (soccer) boots and shin pads are mandatory for all players on the field for both training and game days. This is a safety requirement for all players. 

For training, players can wear anything they like which is appropriate for the weather. Shin pads and soccer boots are required. 

For game days, players must wear their Auburn FC uniform. This includes the jersey, shorts and socks, and of course shin pads and soccer boots.

The Auburn FC uniform (jersey, shorts and socks) can be purchased from our club house. The club house is open during training times and game days. 

Soccer boots and shin pads can be purchased from any sports store. Any colour or brand soccer boots and shin pads are fine. 

Auburn FC is run entirely by volunteers.  Without the help of people like our Coaches, Managers, Committee members and volunteers who support the club across all aspects, the Club simply can not function.

Coaches and Managers are often parents or voluteers from the team, who have volunteered their time and services for the club, community and the children. 

Your team Coach or Manager will contact you at the beginning of the season to introduce themselves. Our teams utilise messaging platforms (i.e.: WhatsApp) to communicate with team members and parents for announcements.

In the scenario you have any questions or concerns, your Coach or Manager should always be your first port of call and if they’re not sure, they will contact the Club’s Committee on your behalf.

Absolutely! Auburn FC is run entirely by volunteers.  Without the help of people like you who support the club across all aspects, the Club simply can not function.

You’re welcome to get involved in coaching or managing your child’s team, as long as there isn’t an existing coach or manager for the team. 

If you would like to become a coach or manager, please contact either the club registrar or president. 

At Auburn FC, the appointment of all coaches and managers is at the discretion of the committee to ensure that all coaches and managers uphold the values of the club to provide a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for everyone.
