Our values

Everyone can enjoy and develop playing soccer

As a club, we can make a difference to the development of great people

We believe that to help players develop, we must help those that want to coach further their own development

Spring Gully United Soccer Club is a community soccer (football) club based in Bendigo, Australia. As a grassroots club, there is a strong primary focus is on participation, enjoyment and player development.

Spring Gully isn’t focused on results. Parents & players seeking a results-based club, might do better to look elsewhere.

The club isn’t culturally or ethnically aligned with any particular section of the community – we welcome any person of any age and any ethnicity/cultural background.  We also welcome people with any ability and/or disability.

Spring Gully is a community-based club which relies on the goodwill and generosity of volunteers to look after the teams. Usually the Coach, Assistant Coach and Team Manager are a player’s parent. There are also quite a number of teams with non-parent coaches. The Club provides free basic coaching courses at our home grounds, as well as covering the costs of mid-level coaching courses. The Club Coaching Coordinator organises the coaching courses and provides any other help and support that Coaches and Assistant Coaches need throughout the season.

Joining Spring Gully is joining a group of families who enjoy the social aspect of the game and are happy to participate and contribute in order to get a good outcome for their own kids.  Parents who can’t help out, in other words, those who are looking to pay for a service to be delivered, should be aware of the club’s expectations in relation to volunteering.
