Your Local Community Club
We’ve been part of the local community since 1964, and currently have over 600 players across our Men’s, Women’s, Masters & Junior teams.
Junior Football (U13-U17s)
Looking to play junior football in Brisbane? Westside Grovely offers an exciting program that’s growing each year.
Metro Divisional football is an age group competition administered by Football Queensland for age levels U13 to U16 in an 11-a-side format. Westside Grovely FC fields teams from Division 1 to Division 5, depending on annual registration numbers.
Metro Divisional football is played either on Saturdays or Sundays depending on the age group and Football Queensland scheduling with a home and away ground format.
Under 13s is the first year of Competition football, with standings and finals played.
Welcoming, Supportive & Inclusive
Players of all backgrounds and playing abilities are welcome at Westside Grovely, where we encourage a warm and encouraging family atmosphere.
Community Football with a clear direction
While we don’t offer an academy, we are proud to be a strong community club in Brisbane.
We have had many junior players progress to our senior teams over the years, with many of our Metro and Masters players having a 20+ year history with the club.
As a club, we have been focusing on improving facilities and providing coaching qualifications and opportunities to those who are keen to progress their standing in the game, and have recently introduced a Director of Football and Junior Director of Coaching to the club.
These steps have been taken to ensure we are able to offer a full pathway from juniors to seniors, with opportunities for those progressing into the open age groups to trial with our Men’s and Women’s teams.
Upgraded Facilities & Fields
We’re proud of the work that has gone into the club in recent years, and hope that our upgraded fields and facilities provide a fantastic platform for your child to learn and enjoy the start of their sporting journey.
Junior Grading Process & Team Placement
Assessment of player ability is based on player performance at grading sessions and advice from Club Coaches. Where possible all players should play in their correct age competition, i.e. U13’s play in U13. However, some players may need to play up a grade due to player numbers in an age group.
It is important to note that team make up is not completely finalised until teams are announced and confirmed. The intention of grading is to place players into teams with teammates of a similar skill level and to enter each team in a division of the competition that is appropriate to their skill level for both player development and enjoyment.
Getting in the right team is far more important than getting in the top team. Westside Grovely values all of its members regardless of their level of skill and experience.
Season Information
Under 13 teams will participate in Football Queensland grading games held in February to ensure they are placed into appropriate divisions and there is a similar standard amongst the Competition. The Season typically commences in March, with 18 games played running until the end of School Term 3 (early September). There is a 2-3 week break for June/July School holidays, but sometimes these weeks can be utilised as catch-up games if there are weeks of wash-outs.
