The league competitions are mixed male and female competition within all age groups. We encourage all players (male and female) to participate at their appropriate age level as we believe this leads to their best development as soccer players and provides the most enjoyment. However, the club and league acknowledge that there are specific needs for some individual players where we can assist participation. The SWVF therefore provides for a limited number of positions in each team that are available for players that are new to soccer or female that wish to play down one age group in either the under 12, under 14 or under 16 teams. A formal request must be made to the SWVF. For players wishing to play up an age group, parents must also provide approval. Please contact the coach of the relevant team for assistance.

If you have already registered via play football for a season with another club, a supplementary registration package can be developed with a reduced registration cost as FFV and FFA fees have already been charged with your first registration. Please contact the club for details.

Please contact the club to discuss your needs.
