Noarlunga United Soccer Club

Happy Father's Day to every dad, stepdad, granddad, and father figures out there involved at Noarlunga United.

The committee members giving up their time behind the scenes. The coaching staff running training after a full day at work. The volunteers doing the jobs nobody sees & whatever needs doing.

And the fathers standing on the sideline every week watching their kids live out their dream on the park.

Whatever role you play at this club, today's for you.

Enjoy the day. See you at the club soon.

BACK TO BACK 🏆⚽

Our Men's Amateurs have gone back to back, taking out the league title again this season.

Massive thanks to everyone who's been part of this. The players coaching and support staff, the committee, and every single person at Noarlunga United who's turned up to support us home and away.

Two in a row doesn't happen by accident. Congrats! Enjoy this one

Friday night at the Pound is a big one.

Kicking off at 6pm we've got the Under 15's, coached by Andrew Smith, one of the Amateurs immortals himself. Good chance to get down early and support the next lot coming through.

Then the main event. Our Amateurs are one win away from back to back league titles. Not many teams in the club's history have ever pulled that off, and this group has a real shot at it.

Look at who's in that team too. Some players who've played at every level for this club, some for years and years. Current and former Committee members, junior coaches, the ones who've worked the bar and canteen and done the jobs nobody notices. This isn't just a good team, it's the club really.

So if you're free Friday, get down early for the Under 15's and stay on for the Amateurs.

Would mean a lot to have a decent crowd there for what could be a genuinely historic night for NUSC.

See you there.

CONGRATULATIONS

To our Women's Community team on securing the league title with two games to go!

Big one today.

Our Womens Community side just needs 1 more point to lock up the Div 6 South League Title. Kick off 4:30pm at The Pound, Wilfred Taylor Reserve, against East Adelaide.

Come down and get around the girls, would be great to see the title wrapped up at home in front of a big crowd.

Noarlunga United is proud to announce our Junior Leadership Group for 2027:

⚽ Matt Bennett — Director of Coach Development
⚽ Katie Ross Masters — Women's and Girls Football Technical Director
⚽ Graham Miles — Junior Boys Technical Director
⚽ Tim White — MiniRoos Technical Director
⚽ Amy — Junior and Women's Coordinator

Matt has been part of the club this season, and from 2027 his role steps up as Director of Coach Development. A familiar face in South Australian football, Matt has worked full-time as a professional coach — most recently delivering football education programs for Football Australia, alongside roles as head of football at several Adelaide schools and currently holds an AFC A Licence

That experience now goes straight into supporting, mentoring and upskilling every coach across our junior program, guided by Matt's own coaching philosophy, "The Noarlunga Way."

Alongside Katie, Graham , Tim and Amy, this leadership group gives our juniors a genuine pathway from their first MiniRoos session right through to Reserves, built by people who know how to do it properly.

Congratulations to all five. Big things ahead for our juniors in 2027.

💬 Know a young player who should be part of it? Get in touch.

Bryan will work closely with all our Senior coaches to ensure a clear pathway is open for talented young players to progress through our Senior set up.

ᴠᴀʟᴇ ᴊᴏʜɴ ᴊᴏɴᴇꜱ 1931-2026

It's with heavy hearts that we share the passing of John Jones, who co-founded Wakefield Wanderers alongside Norm Hughes the club that would go on to become Noarlunga United.

John arrived in Australia in 1961, a plumber by trade, and brought with him a love of the game that would shape soccer in the south for six decades. He founded the club on Acre Avenue in 1963, and when it later moved to Wilfred Taylor Reserve and became Noarlunga United, John's fingerprints remained on everything we built from there.

Without John, there is no NUSC. Every match played at The Pound, every junior who's pulled on the sky blue, every trophy in our cabinet — it all traces back to a plumber with a vision in 1963.

Our thoughts are with John's family, and with everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Thank you, John. Rest easy. 🩵⚪

If you have memories, photos, or stories of John and the early Wakefield Wanderers days, please share them in the comments or send them to the club.

Round two on this one. Awards Night is coming up fast.

19th September, 7pm at Flagstaff Hill Golf Club. $85 per person, 3 course meal, semi-formal.
