Coolum FC participates in the Junior Community Football Competition within the Football Queensland Sunshine Coast Region.

The junior competition runs from February until September for Under 13 to Under 18/Youth age groups.

Teams are organised via a trial system. Trials run prior to the beginning of each season and will be announced via our social media pages and via email for our existing players. New players are welcome. Players MUST register to confirm their position on a team.

In 2025, Coolum had teams in U13 Boys and Girls, U14 Boys, U15 Boys and Girls and U16 Boys. In 2026, we are expecting to also expand into Youth Boys and potentially Girls. Of our 9 Junior Teams, 4 made semi finals in 2025, 4 played in the Grand Final, 3 won the Grand Final and our U15 Div 2 Boys were both Premiers and League Champions!

Players are required to play in the age group that they will be in the given year (For example, a child born in 2010 will play in the Under 16 age group in 2026). With permission from the Technical Director and team coach, players may play up one age division. With permission from the Technical Director, team coach and Football Queensland, players may apply to play up two age groups or down one age group. Teams are limited in how many players can play out of their correct age group; please contact techdirector@coolumfc.com.au if your child may need to play in an out of age team.

The cost for registration for 2026 will remain unchanged at $425 for the season. Players will need to purchase Coolum FC socks and shorts and provide their own shin guards and boots. A playing shirt will be provided for all players. 

Registration is completed via registration.squadi.com For detailed information on how to register, please see:

Each team also benefits if a parent volunteers to act as manager. If you are interested in getting involved in coaching or managing a team, please contact techdirector@coolumfc.com.au
