We created the FootballSSG to aid in the ongoing growth and development of the game of football, and in particular, to aid in the natural development of player’s technical skills

The basics of FootballSSG and futsal are very similar. Most of the rules are similar including: the size of the field; the non-contact nature of play; and the length of the matches. The key and fundamental difference between FootballSSG and futsal is that we play on turf and use a turf ball (like you would use in your full-sized-field winter competition). This is because we want our players to improve their technical football skills, something we feel is best done using the ball and the surface they will experience in their regular winter competition.

You might just want to have fun. You might want to improve or enhance your fitness. All of these are valid reasons to play FootballSSG, Manly Warringah summer soccer.

FootballSSG aids in the ongoing growth and development of the game of football, and in particular, aids in the natural development of player’s technical skills

Small sided football helps to improve technical skills such as ball control, short passing and dribbling. And it helps to improve tactical skills such as using space, passing and moving and playing a through ball.

Please refer to the check list below for an explanation of all the details you will need to provide when registering.

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OFFER

Register your full team of at least 8 players before 20th July and your team will get the opportunity to
choose your playing colours (on a first-come basis, whereby the first team registered in a
competition will get first choice, the second team gets second choice, etc etc)
plus all team members will receive free playing socks as well.

Active Kids Vouchers

We are a registered Active Kids Provider and we do/will accept your child’s valid voucher towards their registration fee.

Last year we were only asked to process a couple of dozen vouchers so we decided not to spend the $10k-$20k to integrate our web site registration form with the automated Service NSW process (which cost would obviously have to have been passed on to you with the registration fee). Instead, we decided to stay “manual”.

Here’s how it works:
1. You register your child on our web site as per normal. You will be required to make full payment of the registration fee at that time.
2. In the latter half of July we will send out an email to everyone inviting them to submit their vouchers to us to claim.
3. Late in July, we will log in to the Service NSW Provider’s Portal and manually submit all the vouchers. Our experience from last year tells us that it takes Service NSW about 2-3 weeks to process the voucher and provide the $100 to us.
4. When we have received the $100 from Service NSW, we will then refund that $100 to you.

We will do the above process again in October so that anyone that missed out in July will still have the opportunity to use their voucher. As you will hopefully be able to appreciate, the process of manually redeeming the vouchers is quite time consuming so we appreciate you bearing with us as we go through it for you in July and October.

Registration Information

From 24th June, applications for registration will be accepted for the Spring season running from September through to December. Applications for registration will be accepted on a first-come basis (for the last couple of seasons, we have unfortunately not been able to accommodate every application, so you should register as early as possible to secure your place).

By applying to register, players (and where applicable the player’s parents and/or guardians) acknowledge that they have read the FootballSSG Playing Rules that will govern all competitions, matches, team and player participation.

Individual Player Registrations Are Welcome !

If you don’t have a full team but really want to play, go ahead and register and we’ll place you in an appropriate team. Every year we receive hundreds of registrations from individuals that do not have a team and we work hard to make sure everyone gets to play. In the unlikely event that we cannot find you a suitable team, you will receive a full refund ... so go for it ... you’ve got nothing to lose!
