Season 2012 Teams
Glen Eira Junior Soccer Club is expanding the range of options for participation in 2012.
In addition to our excellent GoalKick program for 5 and 6 year olds, the club will enter new teams in the U7 Bayside League competition.
The club will develop its strong participation in all of the mixed girls and boys FFV Small-Sided football competitions (U9, U10 and U11), and this year will also likely enter a team in the U11 Girls FFV competition.
We hope to expand the number of the number of boys teams playing in the U12 – U18 FFV competitions and the number of girls teams playing in the U12, 14, 16 and 18 FFV competitions. These are played on Sundays.
The club will again enter Senior Mens and Womens teams in the VCSA senior competitions, and will this year also seek to expand our participation in the VCSA junior competitions (U12-U17), played on Saturdays.
The clubs Wheelchair Teams will also continue their achievements in the FFV competition.
The eventual make-up of teams depends on registrations.
