What do you get when you play FootballSSG ?
FootballSSG is the Northern Beaches’ longest-running, best organised and most fun 6-a-side football competition.
Included in your registration fee is, well, pretty much everything. We provide every player with a full playing kit (jersey, shorts and socks) plus a goalkeeper jersey for each team. We provide referees for every game, plenty of match footballs on every field for every game, official time keepers, on site assistance and the best, clear, accurate, relevant and timely communications that you’ll experience in a community-based sporting organisation.
You simply need to organise your team of 8-10 players and a manager. We look after everything else.
The role of the manager at FootballSSG is very, very simple. Your tasks are: - at the advised time before the season starts, collect (or have someone else collect) your team’s player kits - distribute your team’s player kits to the players - before the start of each game, complete the team’s details on the Match Record Sheet - during the game, organise (or have someone else organise) the player substitutions such that every player gets a fair go - at the conclusion of each game, sign the Match Record Sheet to confirm your agreement with the score as recorded
When we established the competition back in 2007, we wanted to create a place where players could just come and have fun, where parents could enjoy themselves and not feel pressured to ‘volunteer’ and where the referees and field officials felt safe and supported as they learn to be the best they can be. All these years later, with various ‘tweaks’ along the way, we’re confident we’ve got things just about as right as they can be.
Sub Junior Coaching Handbook
Developed over many years and used by many coaches of sub junior and/or inexperienced players of any age who have a “weaker foot” or who are looking to improve their spacial awareness.
I’ve personally used many of the drills with ages including Under 6, Under 7, Under 8, Under 9, Under 10, Under 12, Under 13, Under 14, Under 15, Under 16, Open Age Men and Over 35 Men and Women with great success.

We have NEVER missed a game due to wet weather
This is a claim that we can no longer make. After twelve years and almost 20,000 games scheduled, in our Spring 2019 season we were unable to re-schedule and play 49 games that we chose not to play on the day that Sydney was placed under a State Of Emergency due to extreme heat and bushfire activity/threat. The weeks that followed that day we were affected by rain and so we lost those 49 games.
We really were not happy about it, but the fact is that after our 2025 season we can only claim that over eighteen years and almost 35,000 scheduled games we have only missed 0.1% of games due to extreme weather events.
We still know you just want to play, so we only use the best quality fields with the best irrigation and drainage systems, so you get to play. After all, that is what you want, isn’t it? When you register to play, you just want to be able to play!
