Frequently asked questions
YUFC is run entirely by volunteers, led by a committee elected each year at the Annual General Meeting. These dedicated individuals handle all aspects of club operations—from coaching and registration to equipment and events.
The football season typically begins in April and runs through to September. Training often starts a few weeks before the first game, depending on your team’s age group and coach availability.
Games are usually played on Sundays for juniors and vary slightly by age group. Home games are held at St Andrews Park or Splendid Park in Yanchep, and away games take place at other clubs across the Perth northern suburbs.
Training days and times are set by each team’s coach and may vary by age group. Most teams train once or twice per week in the evenings at our Yanchep facilities.
Children can begin playing with YUFC from as young as 4 years old, in our Miniroos program. We offer teams for all ages through to seniors and masters.
We accept online payments via credit/debit card at the time of registration. Payment plans and government vouchers such as KidSport are also accepted to help make participation affordable for all families.
No problem! Our Miniroos program is designed especially for beginners aged 4–9. It’s fun, non-competitive, and focused on building basic skills in a safe and friendly environment.
Teams are structured by year of birth, in line with Football West guidelines. For example, a child turning 8 during the season will usually play in an Under-8 team.
We do our best to accommodate friend requests during the team allocation process. Please include this request during registration, and we’ll aim to match players where possible.
Teams are generally finalised a few weeks before the season starts. You’ll be contacted by your child’s coach or team manager with details about training and the upcoming season.
Players need football boots, shin guards, and a water bottle. A YUFC playing jersey is provided for game days along with shorts and socks. Additional or parent merchandise is available for purchase.
Registration fees cover player insurance, league fees, equipment, pitch maintenance, referee costs, and other operational expenses that help us run a safe and well-organised club.
We ask parents to support their child’s involvement by ensuring they attend training and games, communicating with coaches, and volunteering where possible. Positive encouragement from the sidelines is also key!
YUFC follows a strict code of conduct. Players, coaches, parents, and spectators are expected to behave respectfully. Any misconduct may lead to warnings, suspensions, or removal from the club, depending on severity.
Any fines incurred by players due to misconduct or disciplinary action during games are the responsibility of the player or their parent/guardian.
Refunds may be available depending on the timing of your withdrawal. Please contact the club at yanchepfc@hotmail.com.au to discuss your individual situation.
We welcome feedback and want to ensure the best experience for all members. Please contact a committee member or email us directly at yanchepfc@hotmail.com.au.
If you can’t find the answer you need here, feel free to email us at yanchepfc@hotmail.com.au or reach out to your team manager once the season begins.
