Whether you’re new to Mudgeeraba Soccer Club or returning for another season, we’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions to help make joining and playing at MSC as straightforward as possible.
Registration & Getting Started
How and where do I register?
All player registrations are completed online through Squadi, the official registration platform used by Football Queensland.
All players, including returning members, must complete a new registration for each season.
If you are registering for the first time, follow these steps:
- Create an account: Parents or guardians should create the main account using their own contact details.
- Add your players: Once your account is created, you can add each family member who will be registering to play.
- Select your club: Choose Mudgeeraba Soccer Club and follow the registration instructions.
- Complete payment: Follow the payment instructions to finalise your registration.
If you require assistance with Squadi, contact their support team at squadi@footballqueensland.com.au.
Important: Please ensure all contact details are current, particularly mobile numbers and email addresses, as these are used by the club to communicate important information throughout the season. Please also ensure each player’s profile includes an up-to-date photograph.
What is included in the registration fees?
Your registration fees help cover the costs of providing a safe, organised and enjoyable soccer experience for our players. These costs include:
- Playing equipment: Purchase and maintenance of football equipment, including goals, corner flags, training poles and other essential items.
- Training equipment: Team training balls, cones, bibs and equipment bags.
- Facilities and maintenance: Clubhouse running costs, ground maintenance and upkeep of club facilities.
- Football administration: Competition and registration-related fees payable to the relevant football governing bodies.
Registration fees help MSC maintain its facilities, support its teams and provide opportunities for players across all age groups.
What payment options are available?
Full registration payment can be made directly through Squadi.
For families wishing to pay by instalments or use alternative payment methods such as Zip Pay or PayPal, MSC has previously offered additional payment arrangements through Sign On Day.
If you would like to explore these options, please contact the club before completing your Squadi registration to obtain the relevant payment code and instructions.
Please check with the club for the payment arrangements available for the 2027 season.
When is Sign On Day?
Mudgeeraba Soccer Club traditionally holds registration support sessions from October through to January.
These sessions provide an opportunity for players and families to visit the club, ask questions and receive assistance with Squadi registration.
Details of 2027 registration support sessions, including dates and times, will be communicated through the club’s Facebook page. Check the pinned announcements for the latest information.
Age Groups & Eligibility
How do I know which age group my child will play in?
A player’s age group is determined by the age they turn during the calendar year in which the season takes place.
For example, if a player turns 10 at any time between 1 January and 31 December 2027, they will generally be eligible for the Under 10 (U10) age group for the 2027 season.
This means that the age group is based on the player’s birth year, not their age when the season begins.
Fees & Financial Assistance
Does Mudgeeraba Soccer Club accept FairPlay Vouchers?
Yes! Mudgeeraba Soccer Club accepts Queensland Government FairPlay vouchers for eligible players.
FairPlay vouchers can be used towards eligible registration costs. Eligible families can apply through the Queensland Government FairPlay program.
Please follow the voucher redemption instructions during registration and ensure the voucher is valid and applicable to Mudgeeraba Soccer Club.
Games & Training
When are games played?
Competition games are generally played on weekends, with the specific day and kick-off time depending on the age group, competition and fixture schedule.
Junior and senior competitions may have different playing schedules.
Once fixtures are released, players and families can check their team’s match schedule through the relevant competition information and club communications.
What nights are training?
When does the 2027 season start?
The 2027 season for most teams is expected to commence in March.
Pre-season training generally begins in late January or February, depending on the team and competition.
Trials, player assessments and grading take place ahead of the season, with further information communicated by the club.
Where can I find information about training times?
Training days and times vary between teams and age groups.
Once teams have been formed, coaches and team managers will communicate the relevant training schedule to players and families.
Please also keep an eye on Mudgeeraba Soccer Club Facebook page and website for club announcements.
Will my child need to travel for games?
Yes. Competition games are generally played on a home-and-away basis, so teams will play both at Sid Bigg Park and at opposition grounds.
Travel distances will depend on the age group and the teams participating in each competition.
For younger age groups, fixtures are generally within the local Gold Coast area, including Robina, Nerang, Burleigh and Palm Beach.
Older age groups may travel further afield, with potential destinations including Ormeau, Runaway Bay, Tamborine and Murwillumbah.
The final competition locations will depend on the number of teams and the structure of each age-group competition.
What happens when two Mudgeeraba teams play each other?
Occasionally, fixtures will see two MSC teams playing against one another.
To avoid both teams wearing the same playing strip, the team listed second on the fixture (the away team) should wear its designated team colour for that match.
For example, if Mudgeeraba U7 Blue plays Mudgeeraba U7 Red, the Red team is the away team and should wear its red playing strip. When the teams meet again, the Blue team will be the away team and should wear blue.
For competition-aged teams, an alternative playing strip is available to borrow from the clubhouse if required.
Are referees provided for every game?
The club endeavours to provide referees for all matches. However, there may be occasions when a referee is unavailable. In these circumstances, the coach may be asked to referee the game.
Can my child nominate to play with friends?
Yes. We understand that playing with friends can make joining a new team an even more enjoyable experience.
When registering, parents can indicate any team preferences or requests for their child to play alongside friends. The club will do its best to accommodate these requests wherever possible.
However, we cannot guarantee that all requests can be met, particularly for players trialling for more advanced development teams, such as Kangaroos or Junior League (JL), where team selection and grading are based on player development and ability.
Please include any preferences when completing your registration so the club can take them into consideration during team formation.
