Our programs are designed to cater for all abilities, ages, and both boys and girls.

2025 is shaping to be a huge year of growth for Ashfield after an amazing 2024. We are excited to welcome your family into our club.

Junior soccer at Ashfield is suitable for ages 4 and up. Our model consists of parent helpers supported by coaches, with no trials or registration day deadlines. Ashfield is a club for everyone, forever.

We have a 4 Year old to Elite Senior Pathway and we accommodate everything in between.

So whether your child just wants to play for fun, or sees themselves as the next Kerr or Cahill, Ashfield is suitable for you.
