Yes I do play, that site should give you a good indication of where teams are located and which divisions they are in. If you want a forum on Brisbane football then I would suggest www.trsconline.com.

Vets teams are over 35's but i play for for an over 35's team and i'm 33!! just heading to the footy now actually. I play on the North Side of Brisbane but there will be plenty teams on the south side and the Gold Coast where you are near.
If i can be any further help please dont hesitate to contact me.

I've been looking at http://www.brisbanemenssoccer.com.au...ldz8/index.asp
I'm a little confused with all these leagues they seems to have?? ...and you have to pay fee's to join the club and play??
I'm assuming the metro leagues are for the amatuer teams??
I don't know how the hell I'm going to start playing?? How did you get involved?
Sorry about all the questions!!
...oh, and good luck for tonight!! ...or should I say, I hope you won, by the time you read this!!

My job is on the South side, so I think we're going to have to settle down there somewhere!
![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
I've noticed on many of the club sites that they charge some pretty high fee's, like a big joining fee and then a fee per game!!?? Do all the clubs charge these fees??

I think Brisbane force is the closest club to the area we're panning on living in, so I'll have to get in touch with them and see if they want another goalkeeper!!!

My jobs on the Southside, but i live on the Northside!!, the joining fee for my club is $ 110.00, you get club T Shirt etc. You then pay $ 6.00 a game which are the ref's fees.
