A player must be turning 10 or older to play in competitive games (U11). Coaches and managers should be aware of the physical limitations of young players playing in a higher age division.
-
Females are automatically permitted to play down one age division; no dispensation form is required as per the SCCSA By-Laws. No male player may play down a division without SCCSA’s prior written permission. This must be attached to the Team Sheet Book.

U11+ All soccer players (including those playing up) must play 4 (four) fixtures in the same team to be eligible to play in the finals series for that team. Players that play up in a higher division 6 (six) times must remain in the age-division team for the remainder of the season. A player may only play in the final one age group.
Representative Pathways
Representative trials are held at the end of the season so that squads/teams may be selected for the year ahead.
Only 5 representative players are allowed in one club team unless all the Rep players are
