    Check your fixture for your team's time.

  2. Use the right lane

    There are two lanes at the entrance.

    Registered players

    Use the players lane and head straight to the players walkway.

    Guest players and spectators

    Use the other lane and go to the check-in desk.

  3. Play

    Players must have either a Season Pass or a Guest Pass to play. Players who are not registered for the season can purchase a Guest Pass at the check-in desk for $22.50.

Spectators: please read carefully

Spectator access is strictly managed to keep Saturday mornings safe and organised for our junior players.

FreeStreet-side viewing, enter by the side gate
$4Players walkway, per person including children
  • Street-side viewing is free and gives you the same view. Get there through the side gate. It is our preferred option, as it keeps the players walkway clear.
  • If you do not need to go down to the players walkway, please choose not to.
  • Entry to the players walkway is $4 per person, including children, paid at the check-in desk. This fee is not negotiable and helps us limit congestion and keep emergency access clear.
  • If the walkway becomes overcrowded, access may be limited to players and coaches only.

Respect is non-negotiable. Adults are expected to set a positive example.

  • Only positive calls and encouragement from the sidelines.
  • Spectators must never enter the field of play.
  • No abuse or aggressive behaviour towards players, coaches, referees, staff or other parents. Kids play for their enjoyment, not ours.

Team coaches

Each team is allowed 2 coaches. Only 2 adults per team are allowed with the team, to keep the players walkway clear.

  • Coach 1 is the adult who registered the team.
  • Coach 2: email their name and the team name they are coaching to dandenong@soccer5s.com.

Player registration

Please make sure all players are registered before Saturday. Players who have not purchased a Season Pass must purchase a $22.50 Guest Pass at check-in before playing.

How fixtures work

  • Your full season draw is out. Find your team at the bottom of this page and tap your division.
  • 13 rounds from Saturday 10 October to Saturday 16 January, then finals. Finals are not in the draw, as they are decided by where your team finishes.
  • No games on Saturday 26 December and Saturday 2 January.

Every team qualifies for finals. Finals are split into Gold, Silver and Bronze pools, so you play off against the teams closest to you on the ladder, which means every team has a real chance to win a final.

Before you come

What to bring

  • Moulded boots, astro (AG) boots or trainers. No metal or screw-in studs.
  • Shin pads are highly recommended.
  • A water bottle, plus a hat and sunscreen for the sidelines.
  • Team colours if you have them. If colours clash, the team listed second on the fixture wears bibs.
  • No jewellery.

Player conduct

Every Junior League player has agreed to our Terms and Conditions by purchasing a Season Pass.

  • Respect the referee at all times. Abuse will not be tolerated. No referees, no games.
  • Slide tackles and barging into fences are strictly banned.
  • Substitutions are unlimited and can be made at any time. Let the referee know, and the player coming off must leave the pitch before the new player comes on.
  • Poor behaviour, on or off the pitch, may lead to warnings, suspensions or bans.

Play fair and respect the game.

Wet weather

Our pitches are all-weather, so Junior League games go ahead in all conditions unless the pitches become unplayable. Only Soccer5s management can cancel a game. If this happens, we will let team managers know by text.

Open Saturday mornings

Coffee's on.

Sideline duty is better with a proper coffee. Our café is open all morning during the Junior Leagues.

Eighteen Grams Coffee Roastery

Proudly pouring Eighteen GramsFreshly roasted Melbourne coffee from a small family roastery, made by our baristas every Saturday.

Grab a coffee, find a seat and settle in for the game.

Forfeits

If your team cannot play, you must let us know by 5pm Thursday. Email dandenong@soccer5s.com or call 03 9794 0066 (leave a message).

Soccer5s is closed on Fridays, so Thursday night is our only chance to reorganise Saturday's games. We cannot reallocate games after 5pm Thursday.

Late cancellations are not fair on the other team, and you would not want your opposition doing it to you.

Find your team

Find your team below, then tap anywhere on your division to open your full season fixtures. They open in a new tab, so this page stays open.

Can't find your team? Email dandenong@soccer5s.com with your team name.

We have drawn these leagues using as much knowledge as we have, including Round 1 results and players' ages. There will always be winners and losers in football, but our aim is to make every game as competitive as possible, and we are hopeful this draw does that. If we need to, we may make changes during the season to protect the integrity of the competitions.
