Russell Lea Womens Soccer Club

We are a not for profit organisation welcoming girls and women of all ages from all areas of Sydney’s Inner West. The club is run entirely by volunteers. From committee members to coaches and managers, all involved in keeping the club running do so voluntarily.

The club is affiliated with and therefore bound by the Constitution, Rules and Regulations of the Canterbury & District Soccer Football Association (CDSFA).

OUR TEAMS

★ Minitilda's - Age 5 to 7

This is a smaller version of soccer that provides girls with a fun introduction to soccer. Some clubs call this age group MiniRoos. At Russell Lea Women’s Soccer Club, they are known as MiniTildas, as in mini Matildas.

★ Mini's - Age 8 to 11

Girls who play in these non competitive age groups play versions of small sided soccer in a home and away format ie. some games at our home ground and others at the opposition’s home ground. The emphasis is on fun and enjoyment whilst gradually building skills and game awareness.

★ Juniors - Age 12 to 16

Playing soccer in the teen years provides opportunities to form friendships outside of school, build resilience and confidence, get fit and have fun.

★ Women’s Intermediate League (WIL) - Age 17 to 19

This age bracket is open to girls who turn 17, 18 or 19 in the relevant year of play. You could call it the ‘tweenas’.

★ All Ages - Age 18+

As the title implies, this age group is for all adults - 18+ from beginner to experienced - RLWSC welcomes all. (Those turning 18, 19, 20 or 21 in the relevant year have the option to play in WIL or All Ages).
