Aspendale Stingrays

At the Aspendale Stingrays Soccer Club, football is about more than just results. We believe the best teams are built on teamwork, respect, friendship, and a genuine love of the game.

From our youngest players through to our oldest junior teams, our goal is to help every player develop their skills, confidence, and understanding of football in a positive and enjoyable environment. We encourage players to challenge themselves, compete with passion, and strive for improvement while always demonstrating good sportsmanship and respect for teammates, opponents, referees, and coaches. These are the attributes we aspire to for our senior Men's and Women's teams so we take steps to foster it from the start.

Whether your child is new to football or looking to take the next step in their development, our coaches, volunteers, and families work together to create a welcoming and inclusive club where every player can thrive. We celebrate progress, support effort, and take pride in being a community club that plays with passion, humility, and heart.

Who Should Complete This Form?

This Expression of Interest is for new Junior players (U12-U18, born between 2007 and 2015 inclusive) who would like to join an Aspendale Stingrays Junior team for the 2027 season. The pre-season is from January and match day programmes starting around Easter. Teams are available across the entire Junior program for both girls and boys.

DO NOT complete this form if your player is already a 2026 Stingrays player or will be a Miniroos player (U7 -U11, born 2016 and after). Miniroos 2027 Expression of Interests will open at a later date.

What Happens Next?

Returning Aspendale Stingrays players are given priority during their returning club player registration process. Once returning player registrations have been finalised, available positions on existing and new teams will be offered to players on our waitlist from October 2026 onwards.

While we always aim to accommodate as many players as possible, submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee a place in a team. We encourage families to register their interest as early as possible to maximise the opportunity of being offered a position.

Information We'll Ask For when completing the form:

Your child's name and DOB
Your child's preferred playing day (if applicable)
Current or previous club/team
Previous football experience
Any other information that may assist with team placement, such as previous playing experience overseas - which can require lengthy international clearance administration.
If you are already a club family.

Thank you for your interest in joining the Aspendale Stingrays family. We look forward to welcoming new players for the 2027 season.
