Playing

Spirit FC is a proudly local club that promotes player and team development across seniors, youth and junior squads. We have a reputation as the top development club in NSW with our holistic approach underpinned by the NWSF DNA.


Express your interest in playing for Spirit FC by completing our EOI form.


Players who have completed the form will receive email updates when Spirit FC holds open trials, which are typically in October. Players may also be invited in for training opportunities, pending availabilities in squads. As we receive a high volume of EOIs, please do not contact the office via phone to request a trial, as we will contact players directly.

If you are a Senior player seeking a trial, please also send your playing resume to spirit@nwsf.com.au. Please also include a highlight reel, and two recent, full, 90 minute match videos. We will pass this information onto our First Grade coaches, who will review and contact if interested. Senior trials are by invitation only.

Spirit FC prides itself on its commitment to local players in our Junior and Youth League teams. Our pathway encompasses NWSF local clubs, the NWSF Academy, Junior Development League, NPL Boys and Girls competitions (including Mixed and Womens squads) that compete in FNSW NPL competitions.

Our JDL players must reside within the NWSF football boundaries, or have played for a NWSF club. As per the Football NSW club standards & benchmarking, players from the neighbouring Central Coast Football, Northern Suburbs FA and Manly-Warringah FA are also eligible. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure they meet these requirements.

JDL trials take place in October each year, with dates set by FNSW. These will be published on this page, and communicated to relevant players who have completed the EOI, once confirmed.

Please understand we do receive a large number of enquiries requesting to trial, and unfortunately, do not have the capacity to reply to every enquiry individually. For context, we typically receive over 2000 EOIs each season. We will be in contact as opportunities arise.
