Welcome to Season 2008

Welcome to the PCYC OVER 35s FOOTBALL COMPETITION website. Set up in 2004, the objectives of the competition were to provide over aged players an opportunity to continue playing the sport they enjoy most well into their senior years, without the serious competitive edge.

After two years of playing at the Redcliffe Hockey Club, and one year at the PCYC fields, we are now established at the Redcliffe Showgrounds.

The six team, mixed competition is not as competitive as most, and the aim is to provide fitness for those players wanting to continue their love of the game into their "golden years", encourage novices to have a go, involve families and overall promote a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.

With 4 seasons now behind us, we still have 5 original teams in the competition along with Rawhide, who joined us in 2005. We welcome any other teams who may be interested in joining us to make the competition bigger and even better. Individuals are also welcome.

The organisers would like to thank everyone who turned up for the Working Bee on Friday January 25.

With the recent rain, and having been mowed recently the fields are looking great, and the guys all did a great job spreading the top soil, making it look even better.

With more rain fall predicted over the next month or so, they should be up to a very good playing standard by the end of February... so well done to all concerned!!!

Aims

The aim of the competition is to shorten the season, allow a decent break for holidays and involvement with families in other activities, and continue to allow players of mature-age status to play into their golden years without the intensity of serious competitive football.

There are other football competitions in the local area that offer more intense and competitive playing levels. We recommend players seeking those levels consider whether our social competition is suited to their needs.

We also recommend that newcomers and existing players read our Competition Standards before playing this year. Its our intention to stamp out dangerous foul play and verbal abuse towards other players and officials.

Format

The competition format is fairly basic. Games duration is 70 minutes, with a no slide tackle rule, and there are at least 3 games every Friday night. For insurance purposes, all players must be members of PCYC.
