Our Junior competition caters for both boys and girls aged U12 to U18.
Registration opens in January, with grading and pre-season training in February. The Junior competition season runs from the first weekend in April through to August.
Grading is used to form cohesive teams of similar ability.
Coaches are typically very experienced players/parents, who have undertaken coaching courses. At Kissing Point FC, coaches are supported through our collaborative coaching program.

Players who are keen to play at the top level of community football are encouraged to try out for Super League. Super League trials take place in November, with team announcements in December. In summary, Super League involves:

- Two training sessions per week for at least 24 weeks
- Individual player report (mid-season and post-season)

Fees for Super League are higher than other divisions due to the additional coaching.

2024 Competition format
There are 19 weekends for the Junior Mixed competitions in the 2024 season.
The format for all competitions (except 9/10 team divisions) is as follows:
- 17 round competitions (less washouts) with a two-week final series for the top 4 teams (1 v 4, 2 v 3, winners progress to grand final).
- To schedule 17 competition rounds, we may not be able to achieve equal competitions where teams play each other the same number of times. The draw is randomly generated prior to the commencement of the season so there will be no bias at play.
6 – team divisions: 15 rounds plus 2 extra rounds drawn at random. Plus 2-week finals series.
8 – team divisions: 14 rounds plus 3 extra rounds drawn at random. Plus 2-week finals series.
10-team divisions: 18 rounds. We will schedule a 1-week finals series if weather permits.
- The grand final winner will be declared the “Final Series Winner”. First past the post in every division will be referred to as the “Premiers”.
- Invitation to participate in Champion of Champions will still be decided by the team that finishes as “Premiers” (First Past The Post) in the ‘Super League’ Division of each age group.
7 – team divisions: 17 rounds will be scheduled, each team will play 14 competition games and have 3 byes. We will try and schedule friendlies during the bye rounds where possible. Plus 2-week finals series.
9 – team divisions: 18 rounds will be scheduled, each team will play 16 competition games and have 2 byes. We will schedule a 1-week finals series if weather permits.
NOTE: For 9/10 team competitions, completing the 18 scheduled rounds will take precedence over Finals.
