Meet the squads.

Overview

Twelve squads. One badge.

Summit fields teams from Under-8 development through to senior men's and women's football. Every squad trains twice a week under qualified coaches and follows the same Summit playing principles.

New players can register for a trial at any point in the season. The club also runs holiday camps and open training sessions so families can experience Summit before signing up.
