The 2023 season can be found on the Football Victoria Community Calendar. FCB play in the “Community Competitions” leagues.
Your team’s fixtures are typically released by the first week of April. They are subject to change especially in the first 5 weeks of the season when teams are regraded. Your team manager will assist in getting fixture information to you. The team manager could be YOU so please let your coach know if you can help with essential back office duties (and yep, we’re all busy).
Match day is Sunday, and we play either home or away. The smallest children in miniroos usually kick off between 8:30am and 9:30am. Kick off times then progress through the day as the age groups progress e.g. Under 12s kick off at/after 10am, U13s at/after 11:15am, U14s at/after 12:30pm etc.
You can expect a maximum 45 – 60 minute drive for away matches. We always wear our yellow and blue kit unless there is a clash of colours when playing away. Players must wear shin guards and may not wear jewelry or a watch. A Football Victoria referee is likely to ask a player to leave the pitch if these rules are breached. More advice about uniform, including sizes can be found here
We take great pride in our players. We are their biggest fans. We encourage with praise and do not yell instructions. Please take a moment to read our spectator code of conduct.
