Chelsea FC have a wonderful home at the HD Thomas Reserve on
Edithvale Road, in EDITHVALE. We are situated about 900Metres from the beach
and boast a wonderful set of facilities and playing grounds. We were recently
granted Five Star Club Status by the FFV because of our fantastic community
spirit, innovative programs and our philosophy of coaching.
The club prides itself on getting quality coaching and
currently boast two ‘B’ Licenced and five ‘C’ Licenced on staff. This is
the same quality of coaching that you would find at NPL clubs. In fact, one of
our ‘B’ Licenced coaches runs the Goal-kick and U7 programs – ensuring
youngsters get the best possible start to their football career.
We follow the Skill Acquisition Program as outlined by the
FV and FFA, as well as aligning our coaching philosophy with the FFA. Our goal
is to produce players that will love the game and play this game for many, many
years. In the last five years alone, we have produced more than 70 players who
currently play at NPL level at NPL clubs.
In 2019, some of our teams’ successes include victory in
Bendigo FC, Easter Cup and Kanga Cup as well as winning league division – with
each victory being produced by playing possession-based football. Our seniors
also won their state league divisions in 2018, gaining promotion.
We are now seeking interested players to continue to join
our football family. We have openings in all sub Junior groups (Goalkick to
U12) as well as Junior teams (U13 to U18.) We also seek players interested in
playing senior football. Positions are open to both genders.
Instead of trials for U8 to U11, Chelsea runs Gala Days
where the players can come down and trial at their age group. These dates will
be announced very soon and will not clash with NPL Trials.
