WELCOME TO CHELSEA FC - SEASON 2026 REGISTRATIONS NOW OPEN!
The Club to Be With

Our regular season caters for players turning a minimum of 5 years old in 2026, right through to players over 45 years of age and beyond.

With another hugely successful Season 2025, with our highest number of registrations on record, we have big expectations for Season 2026. We are hoping to break that record in this our 17th year and have more players and more inclusive teams representing the Club and our community.
This year more than ever early registration will be vital to secure your spot. We already have over 100+ new players on our waiting list, so to secure your spot to play in Royal Blue get on and register ASAP!

Please remember that we have a payment plan option available to you when you register, so you do not need to pay in full upfront. In addition, we are a Get Active Kids provider, should you fit the criteria.

Your registration will be complete after these steps are finalised:
- Register online with Chelsea FC and pay fees/deposit or create payment plan (and pay 1st half of Future First Program Fees if applicable to you)
- Participate in relevant assessments/trials (dates to be confirmed)
- Sign up to FA's Play Football (will be available in February and link sent to you).
- Chelsea FC places you into a team

GoalKick Program:
This is a beginner development program for 5-6 yrs olds ONLY in the year that they take part in the program.

For Mini Roos (U11/Born 2015 and down) this year when registering you will be prompted to complete a Team Selection question. This will ask whether you would like your child to play in one of the following types of teams:

-Graded Team - Kangaroos/Wallabies or Academy Teams
Suitable for talented, ambitious and much more committed players and parents. Teams play in higher level leagues, expected to attend training twice a week and selections are based on football skill. Friendship requests in this group will not be considered.
-Non-Graded Team - Joeys
Suitable for those not wishing to be in a graded team and likely to encompass all football abilities. These teams will play in the lower-level leagues.

Sub Junior (U8-U11) ALL GIRLS ONLY TEAMS (Inc. Academy Teams)
This year, you will have the option to select a new preference for Sub Junior (U8-U11) Girls for those who prefer to play in a girls-only team*. These teams will play on a Sunday morning, not the usual Saturdays.
If this is your preference, you will need to select "Under X Girls" age group when registering.
If you have no preference, then select "Under X Boys & Girls" age group.

*This will only be possible if we have enough numbers to create a team. If possible, it could be an U8/9 and a U10/11 Girls Team

Junior Players U12-18 Boys/Mixed Players:
Due to popularity and pitch availability these age groups will/could be locked out and will now be under trial/assessment process for entry.
Therefore, you will NOT be able to register from 1st Dec.
You ALL will be invited to trail so please register your EOI to Trial that has been sent to you.

We cannot advise strongly enough to get yourselves registered as soon as possible - spaces will fill up fast and we have to operate on a first come first served basis.
*If we have a big number of registrations for a particular age group, then trials for that team could be conducted. In addition, teams maybe training off site due to pitch unavailability.

**Football Victoria Player Registration Fees are NOT included in your fees. You will be sent a link in the new year to register with FV/Playfootball platform in which YOU will pay them directly.

**UNIFORMS:
Uniforms costs are NOT included in your fees. You will be sent a link to purchase your NEW 2026-27 Uniform kit separately and directly through Macron once registered. **
(2025 tops are not allowed to be re used for 2026)

For more detailed information on registration or fees, please see our Registrations Information or Fees, Payments & Refunds pages on our website. If you need further information on any Age Group, please head to the page labelled "TEAMS". Or drop us an email at info@chelseafootballclub.com.au.
