Which team will my child play in?
Your child will be placed into a team that best suits the information provided in your registration. We will endeavour to keep as many players with their previous year's team as possible and hope to accommodate any special requests where we can. For your childs soccer development and enjoyment it is recommended they play in the level that best suits their skill level (see below)
My Son/Daughter has never played before can they join a team?
One of the main advantages of a big club like Mount
Eliza Soccer club is there are in many cases multiple teams in age groups at different levels. Example last season the Club had 4
Under 12 Boys teams, B Grade, C Grade and 2 D Grade teams. Under 13 Girls it was 2 C grade and 1 D grade team.
Little Lizards – Under 6 Grass Roots program
Our U6's grassroots program
has been developed to provide an experience in a fun and safe environment for boys & girls under the age of 6 (must be eliligable to
start Prep) to participate in football and to give them a lifelong love for the game.
From the Under 8 to Under 11 teams are graded into 3 levels based on playing ability:
From the Under 12 to Under 18 teams are graded into 5 levels based on playing ability:
The most important thing for your childs enjoyment is playing at the correct level this will help them with engagement and enthusiasm.
Is there Offside?
Only from Under 12's and up
Is there a ladder/table and points for winning games?
Only from Under 12's and up
Will my child get fair game time?
Yes, the club promotes fair game time for all regardless of ability this coupled with Junior Soccer in Victoria having unlimited
substitutions (like the AFL) allows coaches to roate the team around.
My child has never played soccer before.
No problem that's what Joeys is all about, it's a great place to begin a
soccer journey. Under 13 and up we have teams in various different grades A to E based on ability.
When will team training start?
Once teams have been confirmed, your volunteer coach or team manager will communicate directly with you when confirmed however we would expect all teams to be training by mid/end March. The season is to set to start in April and will finish in September. The Mount Eliza Cup takes place post season. Some teams will start training in February.
When is Training?
Training days and times will depend on your team’s coach’s availability. Times and locations will be published on this site and Team Managers will advise parents. Coaches are volounteers that come from the parent group, if you would like to voulunteer please contact footballcomms@mountelizasoccerclub.com.au
Will there be Pre-season Training Clinics?
In preparation for the new season, the club generally runs a 4-week 5v5 training program from February (dates TBC), this is ideal for those players wanting to get a head start on the season before general team training commences from March. Please keep an eye on our website and social media for details.
Are the coaches professional?
Like most community sport be it Cricket/Basketball/AFL the coaches come from the
team’s parent group and are not professional. The club along with Football Victoria have programs and initiatives
to support coaches, the club prides it's self on the assistant to coaches that we provide. See above the tab Developement
for Coaches
