📣 UNDER 8s ORIENTATION GUIDE for 2027

Welcome to Robina City !

We have compiled the below to welcome you to our club for the season and to answer frequently asked questions about under 8s:

1. Players turning age 8 in 2027 are Under 8s. If the player is a female and wants to play in all female competition choose Under 9 Girls when you register (girls play in two-year age competitions eg Under 8/9 Girls but on Squadi it will most likely appear as Under 9 Girls).

2. Please register your child as soon as possible once registration opens to ensure you get a place. You can register on-line from early January (keep an eye on our club page for updates throughout November and December and watch for the post to advise registration is OPEN). A registration guide will be posted in December. Please read that guide and the FAQs post which is pinned to the top of the page already https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Lg5ED1Qy8/

3. We will host Come and Try Clinics on 5 December, 9 January, 16 and 23 January if you want to try before you register. You do not have to trial to obtain a place. Please go this post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CAHXz4eYZ/

4. We plan to have 6 teams of 10-11 players in this age group, with 7 players on the field at any time. Two of these teams will be by selection only and referred to as Under 8 Pre-Academy/Kangaroos, for the most advanced players playing advanced teams from other clubs. We have already conducted selection trials and remaining places will be filled during our phase 2 trials in January (if this of interest to you keep an eye out for updates). Our Under 8s are the first step in the advanced pathway to play in the FQ Academy Leagues where Robina City are one of less than 40 clubs across Queensland who participate. In 2026 we will have Under 10-18 Boys, and Under 11-18 Girls participate in those leagues.

5. The standard registration fee for the season will be $575 approximately including 2 training sessions per week, Saturday games, and one playing jersey and one training jersey to keep. Club shorts and socks together are $40 and we will advise when they are available to purchase. Jerseys will be handed to Team Coaches to distribute after teams are formed. Under 8 Pre-Academy is an additional $220 for higher level coaches and greater involvement with our full-time Technical Directors.

6. Saturday games are usually over by midday and are ‘home and away’. Players are requested to attend their game a minimum of 30 minutes before the start time to greet their coach and to warm-up.

7. Saturday mornings are a fantastic atmosphere at our club. Hang around and enjoy the canteen and the camaraderie. On a standard Saturday we host 30-40 matches.

8. All players not selected in the Pre-Academy teams are requested to attend a MUSTER on either Friday 29 January or Saturday 30 January at 830 (to be confirmed) which is when teams will be formed. We will be seeking a coach and manager for each team. Training is Wednesdays and Fridays at 430 unless your coach requires a later start or alternative days.

8. Coaches are provided with all the training gear they need, and a coaching apparel kit (Nike polo, Nike jacket, ICON shorts and Club hat). We have a coaches page to learn from our TD and others, and a WhatsApp chat will be set up with other coaches from that age group. Our Community Technical Director will deliver model sessions for you to copy and learn from. We are also hosting a Grassroots coaching course in mid to late February conducted by Football Queensland. This is free of charge.

9. The first game is scheduled for Saturday 6 March.

10. When you purchase your Soccer Boots make sure you wear your football socks as they are thicker than normal socks. You will also need to purchase shin pads.

11. We are largely a volunteer run community club and encourage all players and parents to be a part of their club and volunteer during the season.

12. Your Under 8 Coordinator is Josh Black at [email protected]. If you are interested in coaching or managing or you have formed a team already please let him know before the Muster (as early as possible if you are organised ahead of time).

Thank you and welcome again

🛎️ TRIAL UPDATE: Academy Boys and Girls

1. Offers will start going out tonight with a 24 hour period for acceptance due to the number of triallists and players ready to accept offers if available. Some players will receive pre-academy offers for remaining positions. Please check your junk mail by tomorrow morning. We understand that 24 hours might seem very short but hopefully it makes sense in the current climate with many clubs making offers and people keen to hear where they stand. Should you not get an offer by tomorrow, an offer still may come as each age group in boys has players listed as reserves to be offered next if anyone does not accept.

2. Under 18 Boys; and Under 15,16 and 18 Girls will have a second trial on Saturday morning 31 October at Greenheart, subject to fields being open: arrive 830 for a trial 9-10am.
The Wednesday night booking at Greenheart is unlikely to be available due to the rain. The EOI for girls is still open. The EOI for boys is still closed.

3. Girls teams with vacancies will have another trial Saturday 7 November. Keep the date open and further details regarding venue and times will be provided soon. See a post coming tomorrow regarding vacancies.

4. Goalkeepers are needed for Under 12s and 13s Academy Girls. The EOI is still open.

VERY IMPORTANT: All of our fields are CLOSED this weekend due to the torrential rain this week.
Our fields are then fully closed as of Monday by Council for off-field renovation, except a small area south of Field 2 where there is a goal permanently located.

🤷‍♂️ This afternoon there were groups of people using our fields for things like rugby training, ripping them up while we are paying commercial rates to conduct trials elsewhere.

Can we ask our community if you see anyone you know using our fields to politely ask them to stop. If you see groups using our fields who shouldn’t be, feel free to send in photos and we will post them.

Our players and members are also reminded not to use our fields when they are closed.

23/10/2026

Midday Update: Apparently this has now been resolved but please check on the Maps app before you use this route

For trials today please avoid Old Coach Road as we have just received a report that one section is flooded.
