What age can my child start playing?
Children turning 5 in 2026 are eligible to play. All children born in 2021 can register for the 2026 season.
When & where does training occur?
Training is held at our home ground, Prospect Vale Park in Prospect Vale. Junior teams train once per week on a set day and time, which is determined by the coach.
Children can wear any comfortable clothing to training, but must wear shin pads and football boots. Training will start in March for most age groups. Our Opal Juventus Development Academy and Optus WSL Futures Pathway program begin in February.
When will I know my childโs team?
Our volunteer committee will begin allocating teams from 1 March 2026. Players, parents and coaches will be notified by email once allocations are complete.
We do our best to consider requests, but with around 600 players we canโt guarantee every request can be met.
What are the clubโs Child Safety policies?
Launceston City FC is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all children and young people. Our coaches and committee members complete Child Safeguarding training and hold a current Working with Vulnerable People registration.
Please email us if you would like a copy of our Child Safeguarding Policy.
Can I volunteer?
Yes, and weโd love your help.
We canโt run junior teams without volunteers. If youโd like to register as a Junior Coach or Team Manager, you can do this in the Play Football portal when you register your child. Otherwise, contact us to find out more.
