We manage competitions from under 12 to over 45’s as well as developing football for players between 5-11 years who play under the FA MiniRoos format.

In addition to our local amateur clubs, Nepean also has very strong Representative wing managed by our representative club, Nepean FC who enter teams into Football NSW State League Competitions. For more information on Nepean FC visit their webpage http://www.nepeanfc.com.au

Football continues to be very popular in an area that has seen a tremendous growth in population over the last twenty years. With many new suburbs established and continuing to grow, the demand for sporting and recreational facilities is huge.

The association conducts mixed junior competitions up to and including the Under 12 age group.

From Under 13’s and above, teams become single sex teams.

Girls competitions are offered in all age groups, however, they are conducted according to the number of nominations received. Female player numbers continue to rise at a rapid rate each season.
