summer 6’s social football - suitable for all ages

Our 2023 Summer 6’s football season attracted players from 5 - 55 years old. We had over 200 players register of all abilities and football enthusiasts across the Whitsundays enjoyed weekly games at the Whitsunday Sportspark.

We intend on running the summer 6’s season again in 2024, commencing in October after the competitive season finishes. Ifyou’re keen to play or enter a team keep an eye on our Facebook/ Instagram pages for updates.

2023 competition format

Junior Mixed - this division is for U8 - U12 with 8 players per side to give more playing time. This year we intend on separating the 8 – 10 year olds into one group and the 11 – 12 year olds into another. Games will be 2 x 20-minute halves. Games start at 4.30pm. Once all registrations have been finalised all registered juniors will be put into teams by the club.

Social Mixed - division is suitable for aged 13 and up and is mainly aimed at those who are not serious about keeping score or wish to play with their friends and children. 8 players per team for 2 x 25-minute halves. Registered outdoor players 15+ are not eligible for social teams (unless otherwise approved). Games from 5.30pm

Senior Mixed - division is for aged 15 and up, to allow more inclusivity and increase the social aspect. All teams must be mixed, with a minimum of two females on the pitch at any time. 6 players per team for 2 x 25-minute halves. Games from 5.30pm

By making the move towards inclusive practices of mixed gender and age is a step we feel will improve the culture of the club and build on the success the senior teams have had in improving rapport in recent times.
