Club Announcement

2022 will be Fee-Free for our Senior Women’s team!

14 November 2021

The executive committee of Altona City Soccer Club is delighted to announce that the Senior Women’s team will be hitting the pitch with no fees, no uniform costs, or registration costs for season 2022. This has been a goal that the executive committee has been working towards and after a discussion with long-term sponsor Peter Sadler has come to fruition.  To say that we are delighted about what the future holds for female participation in football at ACSC is an understatement! 

The executive committee and the team at Peter Sadler recognise that gender diversity is a driver for organisational performance and it goes beyond doing the right thing, it is good for business, sport, team building, and our community as a whole.

Senior Women’s Coach Gustavo Flores has 30 years of experience coaching women and girls and is committed to taking the team to the next level with a emphasis on skill-building, discipline, determination, and teamwork. Gustavo is also focused on creating a team that our junior girls can aspire to be a part of.

This commitment and defining a pathway in the development of female participation at Altona City align with the club’s focus of Football Victoria’s goal of equal female participation by 2025.

This is the time for female football at Altona City SC.

Altona City SC History 

The Grassroots Football Project

For anyone interested in the history of soccer in Australia and the players that have achieved what every young soccer player dreams about, representing their country,  The Grassroots Football Project website is an informative and interesting read.

The mission of the Grassroots Football Project is to provide a place for Australian football players that have represented Australia as a Matilda or Socceroo to give back to their Grassroots club by nominating and acknowledging the grassroots club that they started their soccer journey with.

Altona City Soccer Club is proud to have five players nominate Altona City Soccer Club as their grassroots club.

#242 – Mike Micevski

#265 – Peter Laumets

#292 – Alan Davidson 

#352 – Vlado Bozinovski 

 #545 – Jason Davidson 

**the numbers next to the player’s names are their official FFA cap numbers.

Some players have an individual write-up, to view these on The Grassroots Football Project website, click on the player’s name.

Thank you to the creator of The Grassroots Project Greg Werner for allowing us to use his content.

These are exceptional times. The coronavirus pandemic has profoundly affected grassroots football and our ACSC Community.

    Important Club Announcement

     ACSC – Return to Play Guidelines

    As of 28 July 2021

    It is great to welcome the players, their coaches, team managers, and one parent/carer per child back to the pitch BUT we want to be able to welcome our whole community back. 
    How do we achieve this? We respect and abide by the guidelines stipulated by Football Victoria, the State Government and Hobsons Bay City Council.  
    Current important guidelines –
    • Do not attend if feeling unwell
    • Sign in using the QR code provided 
    • No general spectators are allowed.
    • COVID officers will be in attendance at all entrances to assist with checking in with a QR code and to enforce the no spectator rule. 
    • Only one parent /carer per child and support people for players with additional needs.
    • Masks must be worn both indoors and outdoors, unless engaging in strenuous physical exercise, such as jogging or running.  
    • Socially distancing must be adhered to.
    Please read all the documents below before you attend training or a match.  We envisage that coaches may face difficulties ensuring young players understand and adhere to the requirements and guidelines outlined. We ask that parents and carers discuss the requirements prior to returning to the pitch to assist the coaching team. 

    Volunteers are required as COVID SAFE Officers and CLEANERS for light cleaning to ensure we are compliant with the COVID cleaning requirements. 

    To volunteer, please email – clubmanager@altonacitysc.com

    This is our new normal and it will ensure that we stay safe and on the pitch. Please assist us in this by putting your hand up to volunteer.
