NEW FOOTBALL PARTICIPATION RECORD

Macarthur Football registers 900 teams
AFTER an interrupted three seasons, the Macarthur Football Association is on track for a new participation record, with over 900 teams registered for the upcoming Winter Competition.
 The key message to those that are planning to play but are yet to register – act quick to avoid disappointment.
 
Spots are filling fast across the 23 local clubs spanning Wollondilly, Camden and Campbelltown.
 
Boys and girls turning five at any stage in 2023 are eligible to join a team and play in a modified 4 v 4 format.
 
The MFA offers Girls-only teams playing in modified Girls-only competitions from U6, as well as mixed teams for those that prefer that option.
 
Players and teams are graded based on ability to ensure the best participation experience can be offered.
 
Players progress from 4 v 4 (U6/7), 7 v 7 (U8/9), and 9 v 9 (U10/11 and U12 Girls) before they graduating to the full-size field.
 
While team nominations have closed, some clubs are still advertising vacancies in an effort to fill their squads.
 
A full list of team vacancies can be found on the MFA Website: www.macarthurfootball.com.au
 
The MFA is also recruiting new match officials to help cope with the increased demand this season.
 
There are plenty of Referee Courses currently on offer and, as further incentive to pick up a whistle, the annual Referee membership fee for new referees will be heavily subsidised by the Association.
 
Match fees for Referee have also been increased significantly, making it even more rewarding to officiate our great game.
 
To find a Referee Course visit: www.mdfra.com.au
 
The Winter Football Season kicks-off from Friday, March 31 2023 and continues through to the end of August, with Grand Finals held in the early weeks of September.
