Play Football in Australia

Sport Lived offers you the fantastic opportunity to play football in Australia.  Australia is emerging as a strong footballing nation, as testified by the number of Aussies now plying their trade in the Premier League. We offer football programmes to Australia's 3 main cities – Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

In each city we have handpicked the best football clubs.  Most of the football clubs we have affiliations with have lots of teams usually between 5 and 10 men’s teams as well as several women’s’ teams.  As the clubs have lots of teams they are able to accommodate players of all abilities.  The club’s first team play in the highest state competitions in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.  The standard of these competitions is roughly equivalent to lower non league football in the UK e.g. Ryman League.  If you are selected for your club’s first team you will be playing a high standard of football. 

Most clubs train 2-3 times a week and play matches a least once a week.  There are also optional gym and fitness sessions.  Depending on the team you play for you might also be given a gym pass.   

The football clubs we organise for people to join have lots of teams and they arrange regular social events throughout the season such as golf days, fancy dress parties and beach BBQs.  These events are always well attended and lots of fun. 

Women’s football is the fastest growing sport in Australia. Sport Lived has affiliations with clubs that have strong women’s sections who have teams competing in the highest leagues in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Clubs also have a number of social women’s teams and U20 teams, so whatever your age or ability, we’ll be able to arrange the perfect programme for you!

Many of the clubs that we have links with have junior sections so there are opportunities for Sport Lived participants to gain coaching experience.

You can play for an entire season from March – August.  Alternatively we run an 8 week football programme to Brisbane during July and August.
