Acacia Ridge Football Club

Last updated April 2026

Acacia Ridge Football Club is where local kids kick off their soccer dreams under the Brisbane sun. With dedicated junior programs for ages 4 to 16, this grassroots club turns muddy knees and endless energy into skills that last a lifetime. The fields buzz with laughter and the sound of boots on grass every weekend, making it a highlight for school holiday activities in Brisbane. Whether your little one is just starting out or dreaming of representing their team, the club’s welcoming coaches and inclusive vibe ensure every child feels like part of the squad. The Mortimer Road grounds are a second home for hundreds of families in Acacia Ridge, offering a tight-knit community that’s as supportive as it is fun. **What to Bring** Comfortable athletic shoes or cleats. A water bottle—hydration stations are available but kids often forget. Sunscreen and a hat, even on cloudy days. A change of clothes for after training—grass stains are inevitable. Snacks for the drive home; the fields can be a hive of post-match celebrations. **Best Age Range** 4 to 16 years old. Younger siblings can join in the fun during under-5s kick-and-chase sessions. **Good to Know** Registration opens in February for the winter season. Fees cover uniforms, insurance, and equipment for the year. Training is held on weekday evenings at 5pm or 6pm, depending on age group. Parking is free but fills up quickly on game days. **Nearby** The playground at Acacia Ridge Park in Acacia Ridge, Brisbane, is perfect for burning off extra energy before or after soccer. For a post-match treat, stop by the Acacia Ridge Hotel for their famous kids’ menu. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early for your first session—the paperwork moves faster when you’re not rushed. Join the club’s Facebook group for updates on field closures and social events. Bring a spare pair of socks; Brisbane’s unpredictable weather often means soggy feet at the end of the game.
