About Us

Canning City FC is one of the oldest and largest football clubs in Western Australia. We are a true community club and welcome players from all ages and abilities.

We have over 40 Junior teams covering all age groups from 5 to 18, including a 16 year girls team. This provides opportunities for all ages and abilities with a focus on participation and fostering a fit and healthy lifestyle and a love for football. Our juniors can continue playing into their adult years no matter what their level of playing ability as we endeavour to find a spot for every member through our state league, ametures, socials, womens and masters sides. We have some of the best training and playing facilities in the metro area at the newly floodlit Willetton Reserve and Burrendah Park from where we also host several annual sporting and awards events.

Our pitches for Juniors and Rooballers are located at Willetton Reserve, corner Apsley Rd and Malindi Street in Willetton. Our Seniors play at Burrendah Reserve, Burrendah Boulevard opposite Southlands Shopping Centre. The soccer season for all players (boys and girls) starts in April each year and finishes in September (Games will not be played on the Easter weekend, and on a Bye-day/Sunday)

CODE OF CONDUCT

Canning City Code of Conduct

Canning City Football Club abides by the Codes of Conduct as set by Football West for all junior players, coaches and all parents. These codes reflect the policy of Football West, for the conduct of Junior Football throughout the State.

They are intended to provide guidance to all those persons who are associated with Junior Football players and in particular those responsible for directing their activities.

The codes are not an exclusive statement for the conduct of Junior Football. They are a statement of ethics which should underlay more detailed policies and such matters as skill acquisition, modified games and the structure of the competitions.

If adopted, the codes will ensure that young people develop good sporting behaviours and have an enjoyable experience of sport, which will encourage them to remain involved in any capacity throughout their lives. The aims of the Codes of Conduct are to make the game of Junior Football more attractive, healthy and a worthwhile activity for children.

PARENTS:

  • Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not yours.
  • Encourage your child to participate, do not force them
  • Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.
  • Encourage children always to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence.
  • Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
  • Remember that children learn best by example.
  • Appreciate good performances and skilful plays by all participants.
  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.
  • Respect official’s decisions and teach children to do likewise.
  • Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators.
  • Without them, your child could not participate.
  • Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
  • Parents – ensure that you bring to attention the rules below for junior players, this means your family members.
  • In not abiding by these set of simple guidelines, there are consequences which we trust we will not have to invoke.
  • Junior players play football for fun and enjoyment and winning is only a secondary part of playing.

Line Marking Instructions

THE PAINT MIX IS APPROXIMATELY 20% PAINT TO 80% WATER FOR THE AUTOMATIC MACHINES. Demonstration Video

  8. Walk at a brisk pace when line marking as one full tank should cover a full
  9. size pitch and a half. Small sided line markers should adjust the quantity they use for the amount of pitches they are marking. If you have paint in the machine when you have finished marking your own pitch, please use on another pitch rather than flush away. The cost of the paint comes from your fees!
