Watsonia Heights Football Club strives to build enjoyment of the game for players of junior and senior ages, male and female whilst being a part of an inclusive, family oriented community that aims for excellence and fair play both on and off field. We are a club that believes in fun on and off the field; while we love to win, we are not going to do it by compromising our team morale or values, or by paying ‘mercenaries’ to play for the club for all the wrong reasons. We joined the club because we had all heard great things from everyone associated with it or we crossed from a rival because we saw how much fun they had during both success and defeat. We play for the club because of the good-humoured, jovial team environment where we are given the chance to compete but also where we make life-long mates. Facilities:
The club's facilities include two clubrooms and playing fields at both Gabonia Avenue Reserve, and Elder Street Street Reserve, Watsonia. Senior Men's Competition:
The club can trace it origins back to 1970 and currently fields two adult male teams. The 'Heighters' must be one of the most culturally diverse clubs in Melbourne and prides itself on its open, friendly and family oriented culture. The senior teams train twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Reserves and Seniors play on Saturdays at 1pm and 3pm respectively, while our Thirds team plays on Sundays. Juniors:
The club also fields several junior teams for age groups ranging from under 7s to under 18s that compete against other clubs during the Winter Season in the FFV junior competition. We also offer a MiniRoos program on Saturday morning for younger children (4-7 year olds) that want to learn the football basics in a fun and supportive environment. Women and Girls:
In 2017, the Watsonia Heights Women's Team will play in the Women's State League 2 North-West League. The Team has just completed its 9th season together. Watsonia Heights also has three junior female teams including Under 16s, Under 13s and Under 11s. The club has strong focus on female participation and fielded our first girls team - under 14s in 2005. The Senior Women's Team is always looking for new players, and new members are always welcome, including both experienced players and beginners. If you haven't played before but are keen and motivated, we will teach you how to play. Interested new members should email [email protected] for more details.
