At PWFC, our club colors are red, white, and black. To make things easier for our players, jerseys are now included in player fees and provided at the start of the season. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Playing Jerseys (Game Strips): Each player receives a jersey at the beginning of the season, included in player fees. Jerseys are for game days only and should not be worn during training. Players are responsible for washing and caring for their jerseys—no spares are available, so please bring yours to each game!

  • Black Shorts (No Pockets): Available for purchase at the clubhouse on Merchandise and Game Days.

  • Red Socks with PWFC Logo: Also available at the clubhouse on Merchandise and Game Days.

We’re here to help with any uniform questions—just visit us at the clubhouse on game days!

Training days are set by our volunteer coaches in consultation with the club, with team members and their families. We work to balance coach availability, player schedules, and the club’s busy training timetable to find the best possible times for everyone.

Our regular season runs from early March through to the end of August, with approximately 20 games scheduled for each team. This timeline provides a full season of competitive play, culminating in finals for eligible teams.

For the 2025 season, we’ve made an important change by removing the $100 family levy. Previously, this levy was refundable for families who completed volunteer hours, aimed at encouraging community involvement. After a recent review, our committee decided to transition to a flat fee for the upcoming season, making registration as affordable as possible for everyone.

While the family levy has been removed, our club still thrives on the contributions of our dedicated volunteers. We’ll be putting extra effort into building a strong volunteer base, so we can work together as a community to make 2025 another fantastic season. Thank you for your support and for helping us create an amazing experience for our players!
