Mannum Soccer Club

Mannum Soccer Club is a vibrant sports club located in Mannum, a charming town in South Australia. With a rich history and a strong sense of community, the club aims to promote and develop soccer at all levels in the region.

The club is affiliated with the Adelaide Hills Junior Soccer Association (AHJSA), which governs Junior Soccer in the Adelaide Hills region. They offer a variety of options for children of different age groups and skill levels. For non-competitive mixed games, children can join the Under 8, 9, 10, or 11 teams. Competitive mixed games are available for Under 12, 13, 15, or 17 age groups, while competitive girls-only teams are offered for Under 11, 14, or 17.

Additionally, some clubs within the association offer Development Groups for children aged 5 to 7 years old who are not yet ready for games.

The AHJSA is a part of the South Australian Junior Soccer Association (SAJSA), and representative teams are selected at the end of each season for state and country championships. These championships serve as a platform for identifying talented players who may go on to represent Regional South Australia in international events like SingaCup or FijiCup.

For those simply looking to enjoy the sport on a local level, the Mannum Soccer Club provides an inclusive and affordable experience. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact one of the 13 clubs within the association or visit the club's website to join.

The club operates under the rules and regulations of FIFA and the local Competition Rules. They organise matches and development activities for both boys and girls in various age groups, ranging from Under 8 to Under 17. The local playing season runs from May to September each year.

In addition to local games, the club's district representative teams, selected from member clubs, compete at the South Australian State Championships and South Australian Country Championships. The objective of these representative teams is to provide participants with an opportunity to be considered for selection in the FFSA's Country STIC (State Talent Identification Championships) teams.

Mannum Soccer Club is proud to be one of the thirteen member clubs within the AHJSA. Each club has its own contact details and ground venues, which can be found on the club's website.

The club also caters to beginner players aged 7 and under by providing junior development training in a small-sided games format. Some clubs organise interclub tournaments for these young age groups throughout the season. Girls have the option to compete in the all-girls soccer league competition (G League) introduced in 2000 or participate in open leagues alongside boys.

For players in the Under 8 to Under 10 age groups, the club adopts the Football Federation Australia's small-sided game format. This includes modified rules, such as a smaller field and fewer players per team, to encourage skill development. These games are treated as non-competitive matches. Older age groups, including Under 12 and above, participate in Saturday league competitions, where points accumulation determines the end-of-season league winners.

Mannum Soccer Club welcomes soccer enthusiasts of all ages and abilities to join their inclusive and passionate community. They provide a supportive environment for players to develop their skills, forge lasting friendships, and experience the joy of the beautiful game.
