PLAYER INFORMATION

Player Information

Camden Falcons Football Club participates in a competition provided by Macarthur Football Association each year from their home ground at Belgenny Reserve, Camden.  The competition generally runs from March until August/September.

The opportunity to play football is available to children from the Under 6 age group to Under 18 age group, and also to adults in the M-League, All Age, and Over 35 competitions.  Children are placed in teams according to the age that they will turn during a calendar year.  To be eligible to register for the Winter season, children must be turning a minimum of 5 years old during the calendar year. Select the registrations option in the players menu to register.

  • U6 to U11 age groups boys and girls combine to take part in the Small Sided Games (SSG) initiative introduced by the FFA in 2009. Click here for more information on SSG (Mini Roo’s).
  • U12 to U18 age groups take part in full size 11-a-side teams on full size fields, in a division graded competition (except for u12 Girls which follow the u11 format).
  • Beginning in U12, girls must play in all girl teams, in an all girl competition.
Training & Game Times

SSG & Junior games are played on a Saturday.

The time of games will depend on the field availability at the ground which you are playing and are generally between approximately 9am to 1pm, however, they can begin as early as 8.30am and run until as late as 3-4pm.

Senior Games, U16 & U18 Girls, M-League, and Ladies games are played on a Sunday, anywhere between 9am and 5pm.

Teams will usually train for about an hour one night each week, sometimes twice a week for older teams.  Training at Belgenny Reserve, Nugget Beames and Onslow Oval, but your team training night and time will be allocated at the discretion of the club,  coach’s availability and parents’ ability to get the children there.  Training nights and times need to be determined and agreed to by the team as there are many teams to juggle field space for, over the space of the week.

 

Game Locations

It is possible that your child’s team will play at any of the fields utilised by football clubs in the Macarthur area. (Campbelltown, Camden & Wollondilly).

Please click here for a list of clubs and field locations within the Macarthur Football Association.  Alternatively, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the committee, for assistance on game day.

 

Muster Day For U6 and U7

Muster Day will be held in February at the clubhouse at Belgenny on the 16th from approximately 9:00 am (this date and time is subject to change)

Muster Day is held to organise players in the U6 to U7 age groups into teams where required, identify coaches and managers and ascertain training nights.  Players MUST be registered before attending Muster Day so that they can be included in the numbers of each team.

Returning teams in U8-U11 will generally not be required to attend muster days as new players will be added by the registrar to top up numbers if needed.

 

Grading U12 +

Grading is a key requirement to maintain player enjoyment.

Players playing at a level above or below their ability are less likely to enjoy the game and may also contribute to a lower level of enjoyment amongst their teammates.

Where possible, there should be no players of significantly higher or lower ability in a team as this can lead to the isolation of both types of players and restrict player development.

Grading is essential from U12 through to U18, as the opposition will have graded in preparation for MDSFA competitions.

Grading will be conducted at Belgenny Reserve if required.  The grading committee will make contact by email to advise of grading requirements.

Exact times for specific age groups and locations will be confirmed via our facebook page as soon as possible.

 

  • All players must have a current financial registration before attending grading.
  • All players must have boots and shin pads for grading.
  • Please download and read the Camden Falcons Grading Policy.
  • Players will NOT be placed into teams based on coach or peer preference.
