You can do this for multiple children.

Why have the U6s and U7s fees increased this year?
Nerang Soccer Club is committed to improving our foundation and discovery age experience for our newest players, and as such, we are looking to deliver a higher quality and more structured development and training environment this year for these players. We recognise the importance of early player development and building strong foundations in the game for this important group, and will be investing in these changes to benefit the kids. This may include the introduction of a new training program administered by more experienced coaching staff, to guide players and parents and enhance the experience for the players.

Exceptions or allowances for ages?
In some exceptional circumstance a player may be permitted to play up one age group, however players are typically required to remain in their age groups as per Football Queensland policies. In some girls divisions, players may be permitted to play down or up an age group depending on the situation. Any players requiring to play outside of their normal age bracket MUST get permission from the club, and each application is handled on a case-by-case basis. Please talk to your coaches and/or contact club staff to enquire regarding this.

Each year we are looking for a handful dedicated coaches to join our existing coaching crew guiding a team. Football knowledge is a great start however not required for our younger ages groups, just a good sense of leadership and patience. Parents and older siblings (16+) welcome to enquire, and we’ll have support on hand to assist you in your coaching journey.
