Tuggeranong United Football Club (TUFC) is one of the largest sporting clubs in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), offering the opportunity for individuals of all ages, genders, and skill levels to play football. The club's vision is to be the preferred choice for aspiring footballers in the Tuggeranong Valley and the southern side of the ACT.
With a player base of over 800 individuals, TUFC has teams competing in various leagues, including the National leading League, Masters, State League, Junior League (competitive and non-competitive), and MiniRoos. As the largest sporting association in the Tuggeranong Valley and one of the largest football clubs in the ACT, TUFC provides a platform for football enthusiasts to hone their skills and compete at different levels.
The club regularly updates its members and supporters on team news, events, and other important information through social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. They showcase the achievements of their players, such as recognising outstanding performances and awarding Players' Player of the Year in different age groups.
TUFC is inclusive of everyone, including their MiniRoos programme for the youngest players aged under 5 to under 9. The focus of MiniRoos is on enjoying the game, with modified rules and fields to suit the age group and in line with the FFA National Curriculum's Discovery phase. All MiniRoo teams are open to both girls and boys, and parents can register their children and expect to be contacted by a team manager or coach for team placement.
Equipment requirements vary for MiniRoo players. Under 5 players receive a 'welcome to football' pack as part of their registration that includes a ball, TUFC socks, TUFC shorts, shin pads, and a drink bottle. For U6 to U9 players, they need to provide their own ball, TUFC socks, TUFC shorts, football boots (or sneakers), and shin pads. Team equipment is supplied by the club, with the expectation of returning it at the end of the season.
For fans looking to show their support and represent TUFC, the TUFC Shop offers a variety of merchandise for purchase. Opening times for the shop can be obtained by contacting the club or visiting their website.
