Who can play

The ANU Women's Soccer Club is open to all women - we welcome all levels from beginner to advanced. Through training led by knowledgeable coaches, the ANUWSC can teach you all you need to know from how to kick a ball and fine tuning your dribbling skills to rules and strategies of the game. The club is a great way to meet new people while improving your fitness at a level you feel comfortable. ANUWSC revolves around an ethos of enjoyment through learning and playing the game of soccer.

Registration

Registration occurs during March each year. Due to the popularity of the club, the 2004 membership was restricted to 134 members. It is expected that the 2005 membership will be similarly limited. However, as the club plans to field a Premiership team this season, the number of places will be expanded slightly to accomodate this team. Places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

Fees and forms are due by mid March if you would like to play the first pre-season match. The price of joining is dependent on whether you are an ANU student. If you are not an ANU student, you must first join the ANU Sports Union before you are able to join ANUWSC. Follow the link to the ANU Sport and Recreation Association from the links page for more information.

ANUWSC Fees for 2004
