Mixed Under 6 matches are “zoned”. Teams in this age group only play their games against Avalon FC, Narrabeen FC and other teams at Pittwater RSL FC. (Careel Bay, Boondah Reserve, Kitchener Park).
All other age groups are drawn against teams from any of the 17 clubs on the Northern Beaches that play under the MWFA (Manly Warringah Football Association)
Everyone registers as an individual member of Pittwater RSL FC, the Pittwater RSL FC Age Coordinators (and grading committee for those grading) will then form teams from the registrations in each age group and based on the min. and max. number of players in a team.
Once the teams are formed the age coordinator will put you all in contact via email and ask for the team to nominate a coach and a manager, both of these volunteers will require a valid WWCC.
Training can be on any night (Mon-Fri) that is the most convenient for all the team members and the coach at either Kitchener Park or Jackson Road (Warriewood sports fields).
Once the teams are formed the age coordinator will put you all in contact via email and ask for the team to nominate a coach and a manager, both of these volunteers will require a valid WWCC.
