Men's Over 35's + Over 45's
West Pymble FC is a wonderfully social club. From just one team not many years ago, through word-of-mouth. these two age groups have grown into a large football family who are a great bunch of blokes. Most players have their kids playing over the weekend mornings, who then double-up in the afternoon to become the core sideline supporters for these teams in the afternoons.
All players are welcome, from those who have never played football before, to those who played in their school days and haven't touched a ball since. There is a competitive team in Division 1 of Over 45s for those who have a lifetime of football experience. Whatever your skill level, you will find a place in one of our teams as the other teams are social teams.
Over 55's is a new option in 2024. Find detail here.
One of our successes is that Saturday afternoon games are a family function with wives, partners, and kids coming along to watch and cheer. The partners develop their own friendships while occasionally actually watching the game! A relaxed atmosphere is indeed enjoyed.
Our partners have discovered what we have known all along - the enjoyment of playing football, the fun within the team spirit and the personal gain from competitive sport.
FAQs
What is the standard like? Do I need to have played before?
The club accommodates for different skill levels. Many players are returning to the game they played in their youth and some are first time players and coming across from other sports.
When and where are the games played?
Games are played at either 1:00pm or 3:00pm on a Saturday. Home games are at Norman Griffiths Oval, Comenarra Field or Mimosa Oval. Away games are all around the upper North Shore .
What commitment do I need to make?
For your own benefit, you should aim to be present for at least 80% of games. Holidays and work commitments will mean people will inevitably miss some games but the squad size accommodates this. Let the team managers know at the start of the season if you know you will be away for a large period of time. We can work with most schedules but may need to have additional players in the team if you are expecting a longer absence,
