On Saturday Aug 1 we celebrated our inaugural Respect Round.

Whether you are a player, parent, coach, referee, volunteer or spectator, your actions help shape the experience of everyone around you. Positive encouragement, good sportsmanship and respect for others create an environment where every child can learn, grow and thrive.

Thank you to all in attendance for showing your support on the day with players, coaches and team managers wearing an orange armband as a visible reminder that respect is everyone's responsibility.

The atmosphere at both venues was great, from orange arm bands, face painting, hair braiding and everyone eating oranges/mandarins. We thank our sponsors and suppliers for your support in helping to make Respect Round so successful.

A special thank you to our local businesses for supporting this important initiative:

Together, we can continue to build a culture where every child feels they belong, every volunteer feels appreciated, every referee is supported, and every game is played in the true spirit of football.

Everyone Belongs. Everyone Plays. Everyone Respects.

NWJSA Respect Round – Saturday 1 August 2026

At North West Junior Soccer Association (NWJSA), we believe football (soccer) is about much more than winning or losing. It is about creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where every child feels welcome, valued and encouraged to be the best version of themselves.

Our inaugural Respect Round is an opportunity to celebrate the important role that respect plays in junior sport. Respect helps children build confidence, develop friendships, enjoy the game and continue participating for years to come. It also recognises the commitment of our referees, coaches, team managers and volunteers, whose dedication makes it possible for thousands of children to play football (soccer) each week.

Whether you are a player, parent, coach, referee, volunteer or spectator, your actions help shape the experience of everyone around you. Positive encouragement, good sportsmanship and respect for others create an environment where every child can learn, grow and thrive.


Show Your Support
On Saturday 1 August, we invite all players, coaches and team managers to wear an orange armband as a visible reminder that respect is everyone's responsibility.

FREE orange tape will be available from NWJSA for anyone wishing to take part.

At North West Junior Soccer Association (NWJSA), we believe football is more than just a game, it is about helping children and young people become the best versions of themselves.
With more than 3,700 junior participants, NWJSA proudly provides an inclusive football (soccer) program where every child belongs and every child gets a go, regardless of ability, gender, background, or financial circumstances.

Supporting Grassroots Football Through Community Partnerships
A huge thank you to our valued sponsor Brokerage and Co for believing in grassroots football and supporting the Development Clinic Program which gives players of all abilities the opportunity to continue learning, developing skills, and building confidence in a positive and supported environment.

The development program has been designed together with Australian Professional Football Player Stefan Mauk, whose own football journey began right here through the NWJSA program at Star of the Sea Primary School and lead head coach Juanda Pinzon.

Their commitment as a small local business has helped NWJSA continue to give back to our school communities, delivering football incursions over the past two seasons and creating more opportunities for children to experience the joy of the game.

Grassroots football is about more than developing players, it is about building friendships, confidence, resilience, leadership, and a lifelong love of sport.

Creating opportunities. Inspiring confidence. Supporting young people through football.

The excitement levels are beyond measure for this weekend, as we prepare to watch our very own Alex Chidiac line up for the Matildas playing in the 2026 AFC Asian Cup final.

From a player at NWJSA to the world stage, representing the Matildas at the 2023 World Cup and the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup on home soil, to currently playing for F.C Como in Italy her journey is proof of what community football (soccer) can build.

All those years ago NWJSA provided Alexandra the opportunity to play soccer through her school North Adelaide Primary School. It was this opportunity that gave her with the chance to play, learn the game but more importantly fall in love with the beautiful game that football is.

All these years later NWJSA still holds true to providing kids just like Alex with the same opportunities. At NWJSA every child deserves the opportunity to play regardless of gender, ability, or financial circumstances

NWJSA empowers children and young people by creating safe, inclusive spaces where kids are given the opportunity to take risks, grow and develop, and to dream bigger than they ever thought possible.

NWJSA are proof that from our local grassroots, world class players can rise.
And it all started here at NWJSA.

Congratulations Alex we are so proud of you and your journey.
Let's Go Matilda's!
'Til it's done!

Have Your Say – Jubilee Reserve Redevelopment - Consultation Closes 19 November 2025

Jubilee Reserve is a vital community hub that supports wellbeing, sport, and recreation for all members of the community. It provides an open shared space for multiple sporting clubs and serves as an inclusive space for local families.

However, recent redevelopment proposal have the potential to significantly impact how our community utilises Jubilee Reserve and affect the long-term viability of several sporting clubs. We firmly believe that any redevelopment must ensure fair and equitable access for all users and uphold the reserve’s role as a true multi-sport, community facility.

Time is running out to make your voice heard. The City of Charles Sturt community consultation closes on 19 November 2025.

If you value the future of community sport and open shared spaces, please take a few minutes to provide your feedback today.

Have your say before 19 November 2025: https://www.yoursaycharlessturt.com.au/jubilee-reserve-redevelopment

(Comments are turned off to maintain respect. Please share to spread the word.)

A recent Federal Government funding pledge has created an opportunity for us to explore the potential redevelopment of Jubilee Reserve with our community.

Have Your Say on the Jubilee Reserve Redevelopment

From 21 October 2025 Charles Sturt Council is inviting Community Engagement.

According to the Council meeting minutes from 13 October, the current redevelopment plan will negatively impact the North West Junior Soccer Association (NWJSA) by reducing access to playing pitches. This could directly affect over 400 junior players and 30 referee opportunities, with permanent fencing also limiting the flexibility of the green space.

Other users of Jubilee Reserve, including SMOSH and the Port Adelaide Softball Club (PASC), are also expected to face negative impacts under the current project scope.

As per council minutes NWJSA, SMOSH, and PASC fully support the $5 million Federal investment from Mark Butler MP to develop infrastructure for the Adelaide Jaguars for an WNPL venue. However, we believe a more suitable location must be identified, one that supports the Jaguars growth without displacing or disadvantaging existing clubs, community groups, and different sporting codes.

We urge all members of the community to make your voice heard. Visit the Council's consultation page and share your thoughts:

📣 Consultation for the Jubilee Reserve Redevelopment Opportunity opens on 21 October 2025.

We’ll share information openly throughout the process, so you can stay informed and have your say.

A lot of fun was had at our recent October school holiday development clinic sessions. It was extra special to have Adelaide United players Ella Tonkin and Zoe Tolland conduct our girls only sessions. Both Ella and Zoe started their soccer careers at NWJSA representing their schools Rosary and Nailsworth. It was great to have them back out on the pitch for NWJSA.

Thank you to all who attended, thank you to Juan, Ella, Zoe and the coaches for helping to upskill and develop the players soccer skills whilst having fun at the same time.

Term 4 development clinics have kicked off, inc girls only sessions. Please reach out if you would like to register.
