The Geelong Soccer & Sports Club has been in existence for over 50 years with a strong membership base located in the north western suburbs of Geelong. Geelong is proud of its distinguished history, which includes many successful eras of both league and cup championships since the clubs existence.

Mission

Geelong Soccer Club's Goal - To grow and develop our junior teams in order to supply developed players to achieve our vision of becoming State League Division 1 champions.

The lifeblood of any club is the importance and development of junior players. The club views junior development as the foundation of tomorrow's leaders. Team sport creates an environment where teamwork leads to success. Team sport will develop leadership, and leaders will gain respect within a team environment (all essential qualities for life). The club is firmly entrenched in the growth of their junior development program, and has committed to fielding 8 junior teams.
