Valentine FC’s Community Football program is one of the largest programs in the Lake Macquarie region, with over 700 registered players in 2022, growing each year. The program offers the opportunity for player of all ages and abilities to enjoy our great game.

​

Miniroos provides opportunities for boys and girls aged between 5 to 11 to play small sided games. Your child can sign up to Valentine FC and join a team for the season where they will make new friends, have a lot of fun and get some exercise to boot! Valentine FC provides coaching sessions and runs all games in a relaxed environment where the aim is to teach new skills to each individual player, and promote teamwork, in an enjoyable way.

​

Smaller fields, modified rules and fewer players mean a more enjoyable game with increased opportunities to touch the ball and to score goals. As players progress through the age groups, the playing environments (for example field size and ball size) are modified to best suit their stage of development and prepare them for the transition to 11v11 football.

​

Valentine FC’s Community Football Program provides opportunities for players aged 12 and upwards to enjoy football with their mates. Our community teams compete in the combined competition run by our three local zones, Macquarie, Newcastle Port Stephens and Hunter Valley. All teams are graded based on their ability and there is a promotion / relegation policy in place for the Divisions. The community competition commences with the U12's to Over 35's, Competition is open to males and females equally.

 

Excitingly, from 2023 onwards we welcome Montgomery Homes as our Major Partner for Community Football and Nadin West Joinery as our Girls team Sponsor, something that will see our football program go from strength to strength, benefiting players and the community alike.
