We currently have no timeline for a resolution of the Active Kids/Play Football issue, therefore we are implementing the following process to enable registrations to continue.

If a parent wishes to register for Avalon Soccer Club and use a new active kids voucher valid from 01/02/2024, they are to register their child and use the pay offline function.

They then need to email Registrar@avalonsoccerclub.com.au with the active kids voucher for the club to process and we will then send them the final total and payment details.

This function is ONLY for parents seeking to use vouchers from the new scheme.

Please be advised of our plan for Junior and Youth grading over the coming weeks.
Avalon Soccer Club is committed to providing a quality football experience whereby our players, parents, coaches and volunteers can flourish and develop a passion for football.
Our vision is to develop every player’s skill technically, tactically and physically. Our club also aims to equip our players with the vital life skills such as commitment, discipline, respect and perseverance. These qualities will assist our young footballers in all aspects of life.
We continually strive for excellence in all aspects of our club – playing, coaching, administration and social areas – to make our club amongst the very best. Our aim is to provide an opportunity for people to participate in a community club in a safe, friendly and family-oriented environment. Grading forms an important step in achieving this philosophy.

Wow! After a terrible few season impacted by COVID and then rain, it was great to have a virtually uninterrupted season! This allowed us to provide a full year of football to our ever growing membership base.
In 2023 we ended up with 1,252 players, including 10 Dual Registered Girl’s, across 93 teams. Of the playing group 1001 of those were juniors, as we continue to grow in our youngest ages, especially the U6 group. We also had 384 registered female players, meaning nearly a third of the club was girls and women, a number that we proudly see grow every single year.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for 2023, starting with major sponsor – LJ Hooker, who’s support across a few difficult years has been invaluable.

Also a big thanks to our other other sponsors this season, Brown Bros Skip Bins, Besteam Sport, Johnson Brothers Mitre 10,

September saw an incredible moment for the club, with W16/1s player Annmarie de Uriarte making her debut for the ParaMatildas.
The forward, a part of the club since U8s, has been in training squads with the team for nearly 12 months, and finally received her call up for Australia’s three match tour of Japan, played in Osaka.

Playing off the bench in games 1 and 2, and starting in game 3, de Uriarte excelled, scoring seven goals across the three games, including a hattrick in the second match, and making her mark an international level, despite being the youngest member of the squad at 15.
Annemarie’s achievements were recognised by the club when she was awarded the inaugural Player Recognition Award, at the recent Junior Presentation day. The award was accepted by her father Jamie from club vice-president Stuart Randall, as Annemarie was in Osaka preparing for game one.
