JUNIOR MIXED (U12-U18)
SUPER LEAGUE MIXED U12-U18
Super League refers to the Mixed Youth Division 1 competitions from Under 12 to Under 18.
The aim of Super League is to provide a quality level of competition to our players by implementing minimum coaching and training standards while underpinning our Northern Tigers FC representative teams in the Football New South Wales competitions.
Diamond League operates across the following age groups: U12, U14, U16 and U18/20. In 2026, LCFC field teams across U12, U13 U14, U16 and U18 in the Super League. Teams train twice weekly and games are played Saturday mornings.
HOW TO REGISTER FOR TRIALS
Trial sessions are scheduled for November each year for all Development League levels. All players intending to trial as part of the Development Leagues need to register for the trials.
TRIALS ARE NOW CLOSED
Players will need to register with LCFC (club registration) following the trials. This fee varies according to the age group. For further information about our Development Leagues please email admin@lcfc.com.au or youthtd@lcfc.com.au.
​
The Lane Cove Development Leagues are offered in addition to Lane Cove FC’s ongoing commitment to community-based football and aims to offer players of all backgrounds and capabilities an opportunity to play ‘the world game’ in a friendly and welcoming environment. The diverse range of MiniRoos, Juniors, and Senior teams caters to all standards of players in age groups ranging from Under 6 to adult men and women.
We encourage you to attend as many trials as possible so that there is the best exposure for your child to be seen and assessed by the coaches. Furthermore, if your child has an “off day” then they will have a better chance at getting in if the coaches can see them trial on multiple occasions when they also are in peak form! If you can attend all of them that’s great and what we recommend, if you can’t we understand, and many children will be in the same position with other conflicts.
COMMUNITY MIXED LEAGUE U12-U18
Each year Lane Cove FC would love to field mixed teams from U12-U18. We just need enough interest across all age groups, so please register now and encourage your friends! LCFC registers mixed teams in the following age groups: U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, and U18.
All players of all ages and genders are welcome and encouraged to give football a go, no matter their experience or ability! Our friendly community Club understands the balance between having fun and being competitive in a team environment. Training for mixed teams are usually one night a week at Blackman Park and games are on Saturday mornings.
If you have any further questions, please contact LCFC on admin@lcfc.com.au. We look forward to having a growing number of junior teams playing for Lane Cove FC this year and into the future!
GENERAL SEASON INFORMATION
Winter Season begins normally the first week of April and runs through till the end of August on Saturdays for mixed teams between 8.30am and 1.00pm. Training begins once the children are selected into teams, and coaches are appointed and provided with their kit. This is generally by the middle of March for non-development league teams.
Parent participation with coaching and managing the teams is highly valued and helps our teams succeed. Lane Cove FC provides detailed coaches and managers manuals. Coaches are strongly encouraged to attend a “Grass-roots” coaching course where you will be taught the essential coaching skills. If you commit to coaching a team, the club will pay for this course which is generally run early in the season. Further information can be found under Coaches.
The Club provides playing shirts (which must be returned), and all training equipment for the teams. Players need to purchase shorts, socks, shinpads and boots. The socks and shorts can be purchased online during registration (shorts $22.00 & socks $11.00). Other football equipment is available from any sports store, but we would recommend visiting Rebel Sports. Make sure you tell them at the checkout that you are part of Lane Cove FC!
GRADING AND SELECTIONS FOR JUNIORS
For teams not within the Diamond League & Super League competitions, trials for all Junior age groups generally occur in mid-February – dates to be announced early February.
IMPORTANT: Different age-groups will have trials on different evenings and information will be sent to you if you have registered prior. It is very important that all players attend ALL trials so that we can make sure they are in the right teams.
Want to play with friends?
We have found that children generally play best when grouped with players on par with their playing capabilities. However, we acknowledge that some kids may prefer to be playing with their friends; while LCFC will make every effort to ensure our players are happy we cannot guarantee that every request will be accommodated. We are confident in our grading process and upon that process we will be able to deliver better training programs to improve football skills and overall game play making it more fun for everyone. If you have any further questions, please contact LCFC on admin@lcfc.com.au. We look forward to having a growing number of teams playing for Lane Cove FC this year and into the future.
