Chelsea FC

Chelsea Football Club strives to create programs that improves skills and team play. These programs are designed to teach the technical and tactical aspects of soccer in a multi-cultural community based environment which promotes fun, friendship and respect through team sport participation.

Good News!

Football Victoria has just released their Return To Training (RTT) rules (see below) to assist Chelsea FC to return our players to training within the guidelines set by the Victorian Government.

This is only a guide for your own planning at this stage to familiarize yourself early. As you will see, they are expansive and will require significant effort on behalf of all of us, to adhere to and implement. So we would appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

But we will send our Chelsea FC Covid19 Safety & Hygiene Protocols Policy soon to make it a little easier for you to follow and adhere to.

Chelsea FC Football Operations Dept.is planning today to get all our players/Coaches back to training in a safe manner as soon as practical. We aim that our Seniors Groups (Seniors, Masters, Metro etc ) can hopefully start training from Monday 18th May. Our Sub Juniors and Juniors will start training from Monday 25th May.

Please be aware that due to this unprecedented and unique situation, to comply with these rules, your new training times might be different to at the start of the year "Pre Covid".

Just to be clear, that the main important motivation for these modified training programs, that we or your Coach/Team Manager will release to you soon, is to get our players back to training, reengage with their team/friends and have fun playing the game they love back at Chelsea FC.

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.

Please contact our Technical Director, Robert Giabardo, by email - [email protected] – and he will be only too pleased to assist you with any enquiries. Similarly, like our facebook page at Chelsea Football Club Australia.
