The 2nd session will be going ahead this Wednesday 11th January. (Tonight) from 6pm onwards at Warnbro Oval. All past, present and new players 15+ years are welcome.

Baldivis Soccer Club

It’s a happy new year for the Reserves Amateurs with the appointment of a new coach in Huss Ahmed. Huss was the clubs Most Improved Player last year but has decided that he has more to offer the team as a coach. He believes that the 9 years of experience and discipline he has from boxing and Muay Thai can be transferred to soccer in the form of strong mentality, grit and training.
With the Firsts already being trained by a former State judo champion (Jake) and a current Muay Thai World Champion (George) the teams should have no shortage of fighting spirit going into the 2023 season!!
