Whitsunday United Football Club took the region by storm last season, winning both the League and the Grand Final, which was a first in the club’s history.
They are now back for another season and, with training due to start next week, looking for more players to join their team as they expand.
For the first time ever, they are putting forward four men’s teams and two for the women’s, making this the biggest side in the club’s history in preparation for another winning season.
Having additional teams means there is more opportunity for a range of skill levels to participate, so whether you want to play a casual, social match or compete against the best, there is something for you at Whitsunday United Football Club.
Vice President, Mike Downing, said that everyone is welcome to come and give it a go.
“You don’t have to pay upfront, just come along to a training session and try it out,” he said.
“If you like it, we can put you in the appropriate bracket – there are plenty of levels so come on down and we’ll see you there!”
Training for the top two men’s teams is every Tuesday and Thursday, and the social teams train on Wednesday.
The women’s teams also train Wednesday.
All training begins at 6.30pm and everyone is invited to hang around afterwards to share a beer and conversation if they want to.
“We have a great social side to the sport,” said Mike.
“The fridge is always full of beer, and we all enjoy a few social nights out over the year.”
Players can expect to play roughly half the games on their home pitch at Whitsunday Sportspark and the other half away at different Mackay clubs.
The team often arrange a mini bus for away games so everyone can travel down together.
For the youngsters, there is also a Youth Team for anyone turning 13 this year or older.
The season begins in March and training for all teams begins next week so if you are interested in getting involved then come on down and give it a go.
“For the first timers, football is a really easy game to learn, it is also less physical than other sports,” said Mike.
“It’s loads of fun and open to everyone!”
