Below is a list of common
questions that we get asked on a regular basis. If you still can’t find
the information that you are after, please get in touch via email.
· How
old does my child have to be to play soccer?
The
player must be turning 5 either at the beginning or during the season that
he/she wishes to play.
· Do
you have a program for 5-7 year old?
We run our KickOff
program for our littlest soccer stars which runs during the second and third
school terms.
· Can my child play with his/her friends?
We love to be able
to get kids running around with their mates, and welcome “friend requests”
however, please ensure that the friends are born in the same year, rather than
attend the same grade at school. To be placed in the same team, they must
be born in the same year. Also if a player is wanting to be placed in an
existing team from the previous season and there isn’t a place, the friend
request cannot be granted.
· When
will my child need to attend training?
Unfortunately at
the beginning of the season we can’t always answer this question because
generally it depends on the availability of the coach and the players within
the team and you can’t ascertain that before being placed in a team. It’s
a bit of a chicken/egg situation.
· When
are the games?
All miniroos games
are played on Saturdays, so up until U12 you will definitely play on a
Saturday. Once you hit U13 and up, the game days can vary from Saturday
and Sunday and very rarely Friday nights.
· Will
we travel to other clubs?
Our U5/6/7 play
inhouse so do not have to travel. From U8 and up you will be required to
travel to other clubs to play their teams. Roughly every 2nd week will be
an away game.
· How
far will we travel?
Generally the
younger age groups will not have to travel too far. Football Queensland try to
create local “hubs”, however this isn’t always achieved purely due to the
number of teams etc. As your child gets older, the distance to travel
will increase
· How
much does it cost to register?
In 2022 the fees
are as follows:-
KickOff - $100 for
one term, $170 for two
MiniRoos (U8-11) -
$450
Juniors (U12-U16) -
$550
Seniors - $550
· Is
there anything else to pay once registration fees are covered?
No. RCFC’s
fees are all inclusive.
· Do
we need to buy a uniform?
No. RCFC includes your playing
kit in the registration fees (This excludes our KickOff program where uniforms
are not compulsory). You can purchase additional kits for training if you
wish.
· When
do we have to pay the registration fee by?
All fees must be
paid in order for the player to be placed in a team. It is essential that
registration fees be paid ASAP from registering, the Club will issue a cut-off
date each season. We can also set up payments plans and we do accept the
governments “Get Started” vouchers.
· How
long is the season?
Very generally speaking, Term 2 and 3 of the school
year is when the Winter soccer competition season runs, although juniors may
start slightly earlier for preseason trials and grading. Training for the
U8 and upwards will generally start Mid March.
· How
do we register?
Registration is all
done via our online form available in the “registrations” tab.
· Once
we have registered…then what?
Once you complete the
registration process, we will have all of your contact details. Wait to
hear from us regarding teams and important dates etc. Junior players will
get contacted by their coach to start training, MiniRoos we will let you know
when Muster Day/Night will be, which is when you find out your team etc.
