When is my child old enough to start playing football?
Usually children start playing Club Competition Football the year they start school. The youngest age group we cater for is Under 6's.
Children turning 5 or 6 years old this calendar year are able to play in that competition.
To Play Football in Season 2020, your child needs to be born in 2014 or 2015.
If your child is super keen to have an introduction to football, our the Northern Suburbs Football Association (NSFA) runs a program called Tiger Cubs.
Can my child play with friends?
Our Club regards the grading process as being an important part of the season’s preparation. We have found that players who are not graded properly (ie not playing against kids of a similar ability) do not have as much fun playing as they otherwise could. Our emphasis is very much on fun, but we also like to make sure the players are given every chance to improve their football skills and to try to make sure they come back to football year after year.
Complete the form and it will be submitted to your age coordinator for their consideration. We do our best to fulfill every request however team sizes and player numbers may prevent this is some cases. Please rest assured we will do our very best. on.

Does my child have to play in his or her own age group?
Lindfield FC prefers that players only play in their correct age group (it is usually best for the player!). An exception is where the Club may ask a player to play up an age group to increase the number of players in that age group and allow the creation of another team or balancing of numbers.
What times and places will my child most likely play?
Most boys junior games are played on Saturdays between 8.30am and Noon. The Northern Suburbs Football Association stretches from the lower north shore to Brooklyn, although the younger age groups are unlikely to travel too far, as they are grouped into the northern area of NSFA.
Junior girls Under 8 upwards are played on Sundays between 8.30am and Noon.
Who is my Manager?
Each team need one parent to volunteer as Manager and another as Coach. Teams allocate Managers after the grading process is complete.
When is grading?
We use the Team Grader App to organise our Grading Events and publish our Team Selections. You and find more information here.
In addition, trial games against other clubs will be arranged prior to the start of the season. See the Calendar on the front page of the Website.
What day will training be?
After the grading process, each team nominates a Manager and Coach, normally from parents of players in that team. The Manager and Coach are responsible for deciding on a training day that best suits the majority of the team, and it is subject to space being available at the time and location selected. This is controlled by Kuringai Council. Prior to this it is not possible to say which day training will take place.
Do you have Women's teams?
Following on from the enormous success with the Girls and Womens teams from U8 to All Age, we are looking forward to also fielding teams in most age groups this year. These competitions play on Sundays.
What are the fees for playing football with LFC and how do I register?
