Summary

This is the first year for the Goalkeeper Program. It is avaliable for MiniRoos (U8-U11) players as nominated by your team coach. As more coaches are found it will be expanded to include two players per team and Juniors (U12-U16). 

The Goalkeeper Program will focus on aspects of goalkeeping and the development of each player’s skills and technique.

The program will enhance the opportunities for young children to receive quality, consistent coaching.  In acquiring basic skills free of competition, participating children will not only learn correct technique but will likely develop a love of the “world game”.

Wet Weather

When training or home matches are cancelled due to wet weather the field status on the club website will be updated as soon as possible. The Field Status is located in the middle of the website home page www.ipswichcityfootball.org.au

Parents and players are requested to contact their team managers or coaches for confirmation. Due to the high number of teams and players please DO NOT telephone, text message, email or Facebook message the club or Council as this will only tie up the resources and delay the Club notifying volunteers and or Football Brisbane.
