What’s On Virginia United FC
10 Aug 2026 - 31 Jan 2027
2027 FQA Junior & Youth Players
Registrations close 31 Dec
Virginia United is running a process this off-season to identify players who may be ready to step into the Football Queensland Academy pathway for 2027.
This Expression of Interest is open to the public. Submitting this form does not guarantee a trial or selection: only players shortlisted by our coaching staff will be contacted, and trials are by invite only. If you are not contacted, it does not mean you have been ruled out, our staff continue to assess talent throughout the season.
This page is open to Boys and Girls, Junior and Youth, across all FQA-eligible age groups. Register your interest below before the end of the regular season.
TRIAL DATES (invite only)
Tuesday 6 October / Thursday 8 October / Tuesday 13 October / Thursday 15 October:
5:00pm-6:00pm - Boys U9, U10, U11, U12
5:00pm-6:00pm - Girls U10, U11, U12
6:15pm-7:30pm - Boys U13, U14, U15
6:15pm-7:30pm - Girls U13, U14, U15
7:30pm-8:45pm - Boys U16 & U18
7:30pm-8:45pm - Girls U16 & U18
Only shortlisted players will be contacted directly by our coaching staff ahead of these sessions with their specific trial time. To be considered for selection, players are asked to attend a minimum of 3 out of 4 of the team training sessions they are invited to.
FQA training typically runs two nights a week plus regular carnivals and representative events, alongside your normal club team rather than instead of it. Selection reflects Football Queensland's own long-term talent identification process rather than a single decision, and every player who puts their hand up remains on our radar for future opportunities.
If you have questions, reach out and we'll point you in the right direction.4 Sep 2026 - 17 Mar 2027
2027 Coaches Expression of Interest
Registrations close 17 Mar 2027
Welcome to Virginia United FC!
We're opening expressions of interest for coaches to join us for the 2027 season, specifically within our FQ Academy Junior Boys program and our newly renamed Pre-Academy program (previously our ASP program).
We're looking for:
FQA Junior Boys - U10s, U11s, U12s
Pre-Academy Boys and Girls - U8 to U12s (formerly our Academy Specialised Program, ASP)
Completing this form helps us understand where you are on your coaching journey and what you're looking to achieve, so please let us know whether you're looking to head coach or assist.
Why Coach at Virginia United FC
Coaching at VUFC means being part of an environment that takes player development seriously, and backs that up with real investment in its coaches.
Constraints-Led Approach: every session we run is built around designing the game to create the learning, not stopping to give instructions. Our coaches are trained and mentored in this approach from day one, and it runs consistently from Squirts through to our senior programs.
Coach mentoring: coaches in our high performance programs are mentored by senior coaching staff, including coaches with international coaching experience, as part of an ongoing weekly coach development process, not a one-off induction.
A documented, evidence-based philosophy: our coaching approach isn't informal or ad hoc. It's backed by a written club philosophy and coaching documentation covering session design, player development stages, and individual development planning, so every coach knows exactly what we're building and why.
A genuine point of difference: we've built a clear club structure and player pathway, with coach development built in as a first thought, not an afterthought. Our Football Queensland club assessment outcomes have improved significantly, and we're proud to be building one of the most serious development environments in community football in Queensland.
This is a genuinely exciting time to join Virginia United FC as a coach. We're investing more than ever in our people, our programs and our environment, and we want coaches who want to be part of building something that stands out.
If you're interested in coaching within our FQA Junior Boys or Pre-Academy programs for 2027, complete the form below to register your interest.8 Sep - 12 Dec 2026

Little Reds (U3, U4, U5)
Little Reds is Virginia United's introductory football program for our youngest players. Built around age-appropriate development and the joy of play, every session gives children the space to explore, move, and build confidence at their own pace. Our coaches work to age-specific frameworks, so whether your child is picking up a ball for the first time or already a Squirts regular, they will be challenged and supported in the right way.
Explorers (U3) - Ball familiarity, body awareness, and the joy of movement. Every session is play-first, with activities designed to build coordination and confidence without any pressure.
Movers (U4) - Developing deliberate ball control, early decision-making, and the beginnings of teamwork. Players at this level grow fast, and our sessions keep pace with them.
Little Reds (U5) - Increasing game sense, stronger technical foundations, and small-sided play. This group bridges directly into MiniRoos Ready when players are ready.
MiniRoos Ready (U5, U6, U7)
MiniRoos Ready is for players who are ready to step into competitive 5-a-side football in 2027. Whether your child is a Little Reds graduate, an existing U6 or U7 player looking for extra development, or coming to VUFC for the first time - this program is built to get them ready.
2027 MiniRoos season registrations open in October. MiniRoos Ready runs Term 4 and Term 1 only, specifically timed to build players up heading into the season. Players who complete the program will know their teammates, understand the format, and step into Round 1 with confidence.
Key focus areas: ball mastery under pressure, small-sided game understanding, basic defending, accurate striking, and playing as part of a team.
If you have any questions about which program is right for your child, email us at squirts@virginiaunitedfc.com.au19 Oct 2026 - 31 Mar 2027
