Juniors - Community (12-18)

Those teams who fall outside Super League, and at BFC our focus is encouraging players to have fun and participate at a level that suits them against players of a similar level.

The focus at BFC for our community teams remains on developing skills, fostering sportsmanship, and team spirit. 

Mixed Football is for both girls and boys aged 12-18. However many girls choose to move into girls-only competition as teenagers. 

Junior Competitive Football is a big step up from MiniRoos, and in 2021, NSFA changed the format to 9v9.

Football Australia Technical Director Trevor Morgan states “There is worldwide evidence that smaller-sided games for young players are more beneficial and relevant to their stage of growth and maturation.

U13 - u18 matches are played on a full field, 11 v 11, and the only differences are in ball size and length of the matches dependent on the age group. Competition is now important, scores are kept and results are published. 

BFC has a structured grading policy to ensure that all players are competing in the most suitable divisions against players of similar ability. 

All interested players are invited to try out for Super League (mixed) and Diamond League (Northern Galaxy is our Female Football partner) and our Development Squads.
