History

The Point Cook Soccer Club was established in 2008 in Point Cook, in the western suburbs of Melbourne.[1] The club plays at the Saltwater Reserve, which has a synthetic football/cricket oval and two turf football ovals.[2] As of 2014 it had more than 500 members, ranging from junior to senior levels, and including both male and female teams.[1] By 2014 the club had three girl's teams and a women's team.[3] The club has released a mobile app for Android giving current information about news, events, schedule and so on.[4]

The under-14 boy's team were runners-up at the Kanga Cup in Canberra in 2013.[1] This is the Southern Hemisphere's largest International Youth Soccer Tournament.[5] The under-15 girl's team competed in the Kanga Cup for the first time in 2014.[1] The under-12 boys team was also scheduled to play in the Kanga Cup in July 2014, the first year in which they would be playing for points.[5] The under-12 boys won the 2014 Kanga Cup male plate in the first competition in which they played against teams from other states.[6]

In April 2015 it was reported that Craig Filer, from Britain, had been appointed coach of the Point Cook Jets. The club was aiming to climb to Victorian State League Division 1 within five years, and to eventually compete in the Australian National Premier Leagues.[7]
