Central Coast Football is a governing body and football (soccer) competition located in the Central Coast region of New South Wales. Its administrative headquarters are based at Pluim Park, Lisarow, New South Wales. The association consists of a Premier League, a Division 1 and ten all ages competitions which correspond to tiers five to seventeen on the Australian soccer pyramid. Clubs are based all across the Central Coast. [1]

History

The Central Coast Soccer Association was formed in 1963 with the first year of top-flight competition in 1965. It was later changed to Central Coast Football as the use of the word 'football' replaces 'soccer' in Australia.

In January 2022, CCF announced that the association was disaffiliating with Football Australia and Football NSW. This is due to CCF believing that the FA and FNSW do not value CCF and don't invest in grassroots football on the Central Coast. This has led to CCF being essentially banned from Football Australia and Football NSW competitions. [2] [3] [4]

In March 2022, following months of negotiation, Football Australia announced that CCF would remain as a member of the FIFA affiliated Australian football family. This allowed CCF clubs and players to participate in FNSW and FA competitions. [5]

Teams and structure

Central Coast Football is responsible for overseeing all men's, women's and junior's competitions. Ranging from small sided under 5's competitions to Premier league football and all the way up to over 45's men's football. They oversee over 15000 players, along with this they assist with the running of Central Coast Football Referees Branch, manage over 700 competitive fixtures a weekend with around 250 referees.

Tiers and Leagues

The Central Coast Premier League sits at the fifth tier of the Australian football league system, Division one sits at the sixth tier, while the ten all age divisions stretch from tiers 7 to 17.

Central Coast Premier League (MPL) operates with 10 teams playing an 18 round home & away season, with the bottom two teams being relegated every year down to Division one. The competition operates with a 'club championship', combining points totals from 1st grade, Reserve grade and 21's (third grade). First grade points are multiplied by four, reserve grade by two and 21's by 1. At the end of the season the top four teams in each grade (1st, Reserve & 21's) compete in their own respective finals series with the winner declared Champions. The team that finishes top of the table in each respective grade at the end of the season is declared as the premiers. [6]

Division one is the second division of men's 1st grade football, with 10 clubs also playing an 18 round home & away season. The top two teams at the end of the season in the combined club championship achieve promotion to the Central Coast Premier League (MPL). Division one teams competes with only a First grade and Reserve competition, lacking the 21's as seen in MPL, this allows for smaller clubs to have the ability to compete in grade football. As with MPL division one has a finals series for the top 4 teams in both First and Reserve grade. The team that finishes top of the table in each respective grade at the end of the season is declared as the premiers.

 [7] 

Central Coast Women's Premier League (WPL) is the top division of women's football on the central coast sitting at the fourth tier of the Australian female football pyramid. During 2024 the competition runs as a 7 team competition, playing a 21 round home and away season, followed by the top 4 teams qualifying for the finals series with the winner being declared as champion. The team that finishes top of the table at the end of the season is declared as the premiers, unlike the men's reflective competitions the women's competition controversially is without a reserve grade leaving just the clubs first grade sides competing. [8]

Teams

There are a total of 23 clubs competing across all CCF tiers and divisions.
