Founding & early development period

In 2003 when past players and then current students at Swinburne University re-formed the club and committee and entered two men’s teams into the Amateur Soccer Federation of Victoria (VicSoccer) with a Seniors and Reserves team.

In 2004 the club moved to better (and closer) facilities at Fritsch Holzer Park in Camberwell, and entered a women’s team into the VicSoccer women’s league.

Unfortunately the women’s competition was abolished by the league the following year however the men’s teams continued to grow.

In 2006 the club moved to bigger and better facilities at Howard Dawson Reserve and the following year a women’s team was re-introduced.

The following year our men’s sides entered the Football Federation of Victoria (FFV) and joined the Victorian State Leagues starting at State League 5.

Ahead of the 2016 season our brand new crest was designed after a competition was run with the winner receiving $200 of their registration, the below logo was selected, designed by Gregory Costaras.
