📝 The 2026 Winter Season registrations open on Monday 6th January 2026!
Registrations are now open for this year.
Oak Flats Junior Soccer Club offers junior football programs for children of all ages and skill levels, with the season kicking off on Saturday 11th April 2026. As a long-standing community club in the Illawarra, we focus on creating a welcoming environment where players can enjoy the game, build confidence and develop their skills alongside their teammates.
In the younger age groups, Oak Flats JSC does not grade players until Under 12s, in line with Football South Coast requirements. This allows children to settle into the game, learn at their own pace and enjoy soccer without unnecessary pressure. We aim to accommodate friends playing together where possible and place a strong emphasis on fun, fair play and positive experiences. Registering early also helps the club plan teams, coaches and pre-season activities (including our Gala Day!) so the season can get off to a smooth start.
🧒 Who Can Register?
We offer teams for:
- MiniRoos (U6–U11) – small-sided games focused on fun and skill-building
- Juniors (U12–U18) – competitive teams playing in the Football South Coast comp
- Boys and girls welcome in all age groups
- We do our best to offer girls-only teams where numbers allow
If your child is turning 5 or older this year, they’re eligible to join!
