YOUTH FOOTBALL
From ages U13-U18
The Macquarie Dragons have teams in the Youth competitions. Youth Football is managed by the Youth football convener,
Tim Gleeson (youthfootball@macquariedragons.com.au).
As footballers grow, their skills requirements changes. Moving into the U13 - U18 age groups means footballers start playing on full sized fields with full sized goals. Macquarie Dragons move away from the Co-operative based training to more dedicated team training, to continue teaching children the art of football.
Each team will have its own coach who will facilitate and run weekly training sessions designed for the team. The training nights will be advised by the coach, and will sessions will be held at Waterlook Park & Marsfield Park.
Training sessions will commence in early April.
Specialist Goalkeeper Training will be on Thursday evenings at Waterloo Park for U8 - U16 (limit 10 per session).
If you'd like more information please contact the Youth football convener Tim Gleeson (youthfootball@macquariedragons.com.au).
Electronic Matchsheets
From 2018, electronic matchsheets is compulsory for all competitions from U12 upwards. Both teams are required to have their teamsheets marked as “complete” and to confirm the other team’s teamsheet in the system 10 mins prior to kick-off.
