Football Canterbury's FC Sixes is six-a-side, weeknight football played from October to December this year. Keen to be involved but got a question? Read on to find out the answer!
Will there be finals?
Yes, there will be finals.
A Grand Final will be played between the teams finishing 1st and 2nd on the ladder at the conclusion of Round 9. All other teams will also have games scheduled on the final week.
Are there any additional team registration costs?
No!
The only cost is the individual registration fee. There is no team fee, or any additional fees. Everything is covered in the individual registration fee including referees, field hire, and FNSW insurance.
Do I have to be a member of a club to register?
No!
Anyone can play Summer Sixes with Football Canterbury, even if you’ve never played football before. During the registration process you will have to choose a “club” to play with, but you don’t need to have any previous connection with them.
What if my Football Canterbury club isn't listed an an option?
If your club is not listed as an option that's okay, you can still sign-up - Simply choose a club that is connected to the field you want to play at (see field locations above).
Do I register as a team or an individual?
All players in a team must register individually. Once registered, contact your club who will organise for you to be in the same team as your friends.
Am I eligible for overage competitions?
To be eligible, you must be turning the correct age sometime in that calendar year. For example, someone turning 35 on 31 December would be eligible for the O35 competition.
Can I start my own team?
Yes, of course.
You can play with whoever you want. Organise a group of friends or teammates but you will still have to choose a club during the registration process.
Can we supply our own uniform?
Yes.
We encourage clubs to supply teams with club uniform but all teams are welcome to wear whatever uniform they want – as long as all players on the team are wearing the same uniform and that uniform has been approved by your club. If you wish to wear your club's uniform, please talk to your club to see if they will supply/sell uniforms to your team.
Do uniforms need to be numbered?
Uniforms must be numbered for senior teams. Numbers on jerseys are encouraged but not mandatory for junior teams: if junior teams do not have jersey numbers, they may write their number on their arm with a non-toxic texta/marker.

What time/s are the games?
Junior games may start from 5:30pm with senior games starting from 7pm. All matches will be concluded by 9pm.
What happens if there is a washout?
If it looks like adverse weather a match scheduled for a grass pitch is washed out, the game will be moved to a diffferent location on the same night, if possible. If this is not possible, we will attempt to reschedule the match for a future date, but that will depend on time contrants.
What are the rules and disciplinary procedures?
Rules of Association, the Indiscipline Process, and Judiciary Appeals Regulations apply as per the Football Canterbury winter season. For the rules of play, please click here.
Can we borrow players?
Borrowing players from teams of the same club is allowed as per standard "playing-up" rules (see Rules of Association). You may not borrow players from teams registered to other clubs for competition games. If you wish, you may borrow players from other clubs but the game will be forfeited and will count only as a friendly.
Can I play for multiple teams?
No. The same Rules of Association as the Football Canterbury winter competiton remains in place.
