Junior Program

RIVERSDALE JUNIORS (Ages 12+)

Our Junior League

About the Juniors Program (Ages 12+)

Pre-season commences in mid-February each year.

Training is 1-2 sessions per week depending on level and age. Younger groups can continue to participate in the age-based Skill Improvement sessions (once per week) and also attend team training once a week.

Older and higher level teams will often just have 1-2 team sessions per week.

The Riversdale SC Juniors program includes:

About 30 weeks of football commencing February
2 sessions per week (Monday and Wednesday) plus an organised game against another club, in a Football Victoria competition.
Juniors (U12+) playing their games on Sundays during the season (18 Round season)
The Monday Skills sessions, led by the Club’s Skill Development partner (School4Soccer Academy) are optional. Some teams/coaches prefer to substitute an additional team training night.
Team training sessions at this level may vary away from the Wednesday night sessions of younger levels to allow more training space
Team coaches are encouraged to participate in the Club’s Coaching Development Program
Paid Coaches may be considered in U12+ levels to focus on player and team improvement and prepare players for Senior football, if required
An increased focus on tactics and match awareness but the emphasis on enjoyment and fair game time remains.

Additional Information

Registrations open in late January
Priority will be given to returning members that register online by mid February in line with the Club’s Returning Player Policy.
Teams will be coached by a volunteer parent coach except in the case where a volunteer parent coach cannot be found or the parent group request the Club to appoint a Staff Coach.
Teams with an appointed/paid Staff Coach may be subject to a Coaching Levy that will be calculated on a Cost Recovery Basis.
The club will support volunteer/parent coaches as much as possible to improve their coaching knowledge and skills via interaction with our academy partner and funding of any coaching courses the volunteer/apparent coach may wish to take.
Teams will be selected/allocated through the Pre-season Program during February and March. Our aim is to have tams set by mid-March.
Where RSC cannot offer a player a place due to lack of numbers in a particular age group or too many players in a team, we will endeavour to find a place for them at a nearby club.
