Guest Davido900 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, I'm a 27 year old and, having just moved to Melbourne, am missing the football. Does anyone know of any teams (11 or 5 aside) in or around Melbourne and the inner suburbs. Strictly amateur (think Sunday League) but keen to get back on the pitch!

Guest gary12 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Dave, I have been here 3 weeks (Warrandyte) and I am going to look into getting hooked up with a team soon. I played / managed in England and I am pretty keen to do it here. See the link Football Federation Victoria You should be able to find a team on here. Where abouts are you?

jimbobandrachel Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi Try this link Futsal Oz (Brunswick) I played there on Monday filling in for my mates team in the lowest division (4) and it was pretty good, better than the indoor footy in England cos more skill is required. Unfortunately, my dodgy knee didn't agree with me playing so I'm now going to have to register with the league and see if anyone wants a good goalkeeper.

Sprozzy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Mate wouldn't hesitate reccomending my footy club Middle Park. We are in one the top amateur leagues but plans are afoot to staring playing the Victorian Federation etc. Main +ve's are it's cosmopolitan ie. not drawn along clear ethnic lines eg. All Greek or Croat etc. Not xenophobic but at least there's a spectrum of lads - plenty of Scousers (me included), Jocks, Irish, Southerners, Aussies, Canadians, Kiwis... We play in the city (home games) then v's mainly Eastern Suburbs. Home ground is in Albert Park so trams etc easy to get to (depends where you live of course) Three teams + vets - be warned though pre-season started last Thursday (yep' in 40+ degree heat!) and last year they had to stop members joining 'cos we always get loads of lads so be quick. Regualr social stuff. Only costs approx. $260 for the year (they take care of kits, ref's, laundry...) better than gym membership! all info etc here Middle Park Football Club | Kicking goals since 1969 Maybe see you down there? Got a little baby girl this year though so only make Thursday nights. Tararfornow & welcome to Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davido900 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Cheers guys for the ideas. Both Futsal and Middle park sound great. Don't have a car so am unlikely to be able to make Britvics - but its great that there is so much amateur soccer in Melbourne. For anyone who is interested on an even more casual level I've met a group of people who play in Fawkner park (basically social 5-10 aside) on the weekends.

Guest TonyF1983 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi David, Can you let me know if you have any luck finding regular 5-a-sides? I'm moving to Melbourne from Scotland in October and would be well up for getting involved in this. Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dylan1986 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 alright guys, saw this link when searching google for Melbourne football clubs and thought i'd sign up and say hi My name's Dylan, i'm 23 and will be moving to Melbourne from Sussex in May, (decided finally to use the passport my father's nationallity has granted me!). So anyway, to keep on topic, I currently play for a club here in England, amateur league but a decent standard, (Search for Salvington FC if you're interested) and i'm desperate to find a good 11-a-side club to join. More than anything it'd be great to make some contacts with like minded people before i come, have the feeling that will make the transition a bit easier. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flip Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 INDOOR CRICKET, SOCCER, VOLLEYBALL, NETBALL VENUES & COMPETITIONS are another alternative for indoor 5-a-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
