With 24 member clubs and over 14,000 participants, our leagues provide competitive opportunities from grassroots to elite levels while maintaining focus on player development and community engagement.

Our comprehensive coaching education programs develop technical skills and tactical understanding for all age groups. From MiniRoos introductory sessions to senior performance coaching, we provide accredited courses covering first touch, striking techniques, and match strategy. Our resources support coaches in creating positive learning environments that prioritise player development and enjoyment across the Central Coast football community.
Referee Training
We offer complete referee development pathways from initial accreditation to advanced match officiating. Our training includes online law of the game modules, practical face-to-face courses at Pluim Park, and uniform provision. Participants receive mentorship and match appointment opportunities to build practical experience, with pathways available for those aiming to officiate at A-League level while maintaining standards across local competitions.

Our youth football programs focus on skill development and lifelong participation through age-appropriate training methods.

Ground are ok, cantine ok. However pets not allowed are a set back. I took an 11 weeks old puppy which was on my arms (not wondering) but I was told not allowed
Had to watch a game from outside. I understand the reason for not allo8pets. But it was only a puppy and in my arms

Poorly run organisation, that is only about money. Needs a complete overhaul top to bottom. Goodluck to anyone involved with them.

Sports stadium. Clean & plenty of cubicles in amenities. Easy access. Good view of games. Also has a good size viewing screen. Close to Gosford train station. Opposite Central Coast Leagues Club.

Great condition fields with the main field having a decent size small stand for about a thousand people. Has a canteen/takeaway shop that sells burgers,chips pies, sausage rolls etc. The parking is ok but very popular so you may have to find parking out along the roads a bit away from grounds. A good place to watch your footy.
