About Junior Summer Comp

About Junior Summer Comp

The BDFC Summer Football Competition offers an exciting opportunity for young players to stay active and enjoy the game throughout the warmer months. The competition is held at The Rozelle Parklands Sporting Fields and is open to both  U7–U12 Mixed and Girls-only teams.

For the U7–U8 age groups, the focus is on enjoyment, participation, and skill development (these divisions do not include finals). For the U9–U12 age groups, the final round (Round 8) will feature age-based finals between the top two teams of each competition.

Training is managed independently by each team, as BDFC does not provide training venues or organised sessions for this competition.

The Junior Summer Competition offers an excellent opportunity for young players to continue their football journey in a supportive, community-focused environment!

    • Last round for U9-U12 comps will have age-based finals for top 2 teams of each age group during round 8.

For insurance reasons, it is mandatory for each player within the team to be individually registered for Summer Football through the nominated registration system. The link to register is below (once available). Do not register until an individual has a confirmed team to join and the associated team code (used during registration).

  • For players not registered in Winter Football in 2025, an additional insurance and admin fee of $10 will apply

  • Please do NOT redeem any Active Kids Vouchers during this process, as the fees are minimal and you will not get full value for your voucher. Details on how to use an Active Kids Voucher for Summer Football are detailed below

A player can be registered in an U12 comp if they played U12 in Winter Season 2025. All age groups coincide with the age the child is turning in 2025.

For players wishing to use their Active Kids Voucher for the Summer Football registration, the following process must be followed:

Each parent/carer must send their child’s Active Kids voucher details to their Team Manager. This includes the Child’s Name, Date of Birth, and Voucher Number EXACTLY as they appear on the Active Kids Voucher. Once all requests have been received the Team Manager can fill out the Active Kids  form. BDFC will then redeem the vouchers and, once funds have been received, will refund to the Team Manager for distribution.
