We are proud to support girls' participation in football and do offer all-girls teams where possible. However, the number of all-girls teams we can field each season is limited, and we cannot guarantee a place in one. Girls who are not placed in an all-girls team may be allocated to a mixed team. We ask families to be understanding of this — all teams at Bardon Latrobe are welcoming, inclusive environments.
The club is responsible for all team allocations. Bardon Latrobe FC organises players into teams based on age group, the number of registered players, coach availability, and other factors across the whole club. Final team decisions rest with the club's Age Group Coordinators and committee.
Yes — you are welcome to make requests when you register. We do our best to consider every request we receive, however, we cannot guarantee any request will be accommodated. We receive a large number of requests each season, and balancing them fairly across all families is a significant task.
Priority is given to children whose parents volunteer to coach. We then consider factors like whether players live or attend school in Bardon, Ashgrove, Red Hill, or Paddington.
Coaches and managers are parents from the team. No football experience is needed, just enthusiasm! Coaches must hold a QLD Blue Card, and the club provides strong support to help them get started and build confidence.
Bardon Latrobe also provides support for new and existing coaches, learn more at Coaching MiniRoos & Juniors.
No. Players must play in the age group that corresponds to their year of birth. This is consistent with Football Queensland rules and cannot be varied by the club.
