FORMED

Soccer (Football) started in Swansea with a junior club; formed in 1950 this club was caller Swansea Workers Club until it changed its name to Swansea Junior Soccer Club in 1974 and incorporated in 1988.

CHANGES

Over the years we have seen many changes to both the playing area and amenities.
From one ground with a weatherboard building which housed a canteen and change rooms, to a complex which now has 3 full size fields with a brick building for canteen, change rooms, gear shed and amenities.
Two of the fields now have lights with one of these being suitable for night competition matches.

Future developments are planed for the Chapman Oval Complex, these include making the No. 3 field larger, adding specialised Roo-Ball field for U6 & U7 teams, better lights, a cricket pitch and skate park, also new amenities to accommodate the ever increasing female teams.
