Hands Morgan Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I am due to move to Darwin with my four children in June, and a concern the children have is are there any football teams for them to join for current age groups 13 and 10, I wish this was my only concern!! My 13 year old has played at at a high standard in the UK, and wants to get playing straight away. Any recommendations and advice on how the leagues work would be very much appreciated. Kind regards, Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Assume you mean soccer? Be careful, "football" means different things in different states. Soccer not quite as important here but it looks like Darwin has a few clubs https://www.clubsofaustralia.com.au/files/soccer---football/clubs-in-northern-territory/0/0.html?s_type=s?s_type=s Edited April 1, 2023 by Quoll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Darwin is an AFL town so if you ask about football teams there that is what you will be directed to. I'm sure there are soccer teams around too. It is very popular at junior level as not perceived to be as rough as AFL by the parents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eera Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 yes, there's a junior league; football is increasingly growing in appreciation in Australia, you can find the details here: https://www.footballnt.com.au/# The football referred to in the link is soccer rather than AFL or rugby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
