The Cooks River Titans Football Club was formed in 2014 in co-operation with the Canterbury District Soccer Football Association to address a void in the coverage of soccer on the outskirts of Earlwood, Wolli Creek and Undercliffe and to secure Gough Whitlam Park as a home ground.
The founders of the club have a goal for the Cooks River Titans to be a community club which provides opportunities for people of all ages, races, religions, gender and ability, who want to play the game of football for enjoyment.
The vision of the club is to create and foster a safe and family-friendly environment in a way that children and adults feel a strong sense of belonging, whether players, parents and family, supporters, sponsors, staff or coaches.
The club encourages people to have fun and develop their ability whilst playing the game of football.
Since its inception, the club has grown to now field 23 teams and 375 players in total.
Teams range from under-6 to over-45 and there are now also girl’s and women’s teams for the first time in its history.
The club’s goal is to continue build, year on year, as it has done since inception.
The club’s focus on juniors is key as it is at this stage where children are able to develop more rapidly but more importantly understand and appreciate the fundamentals of sportsmanship, respect, competition and having fun.
The club strongly believes that by creating this environment and providing these opportunities for children that the child’s health and wellbeing and in turn society will benefit.
