Our club uses the FFA’s ‘MyFootballClub’ to register all junior and senior
players, coaches, volunteers and club officials. Our club website provides a
link to ‘MyFootball Club’ as well as useful information in regards to registration
policy and procedures. Families with more than 1 child playing with the club

registration is offered to a parent or senior player to coach a junior team in
the club. In this case the club will not charge the club component of either
their child or their own senior registration fee whichever is applicable.

Grassroots Coaches Course
Wulguru United FC will be running a Grassroots coaches course at Wulguru
Park on Saturday 14th February 2015 (9am-12noon) The 3 hour course is fully
practical and encourages the coach to develop practices that are based on
FUN. The emphasis is on natural development i.e. learning by PLAYING
football. No coaching but organising FUN football exercises is the key to
helping players build a love for the game. Another highlight of the course is
that the coaches are exposed to basic rules of the game as well as tips and
ints on building a football culture in a completely practical setting. Wulguru
United FC strongly encourages (subject to availability) all our coaches (5-9
years age group) intending to return to the club in 2015 to attend the course
irrespective of any previous qualifications. It is a requirement of Football
Queensland that the club proactively seeks to qualify as many club coaches as
possible to maintain our National Club Accreditation. The course is open also
to parents and others that maybe interested in attending the course to learn
more about our game but may not be able to commit to coaching this coming
season. To register for the course click on the button below or contact our
MiniRoos Coordinator Daniel Ellis on 0419 476 511 or email
[email protected] for more details.
Club Merchandise
Club merchandise will be on sale from our club canteen every Thursday at
junior training. The club has ordered a number of bucket hats and caps which
will be available early in the new-year. Orders for club supporter’s shirts,
tracksuit tops and sloppy Joes will also be taken in the first few weeks of the
new-year.
Club Training Shirt
The club will provide training shirts for all teams senior and junior on sign-on.
We request that all players junior and senior attend training wearing their club
training shirt, shorts and socks, boots and shin pads must also be worn for
safety reasons at training and games.
Club Playing Strip
The club will provide the playing shirt for all teams senior and junior.
Club shorts and socks will need to be purchased from Sportscene Super
Warehouse 216-230 Woolcock Street Townsville
Note: our socks are red with the word ‘roosters’ written down the side
not ‘roos’
Sportscene Super Warehouse Gold Medal Rewards program is designed to
reward both you and our club. Each time a WUFC Gold Medal Rewards
member makes a purchase the sale is automatically recorded in the WUFC file
from which the club will be rewarded a percentage off the total sales made by
club members. The staff at the store will sign you up for the program.
