Club Foundation and Development
Founded in 1965, the North Rocks Soccer Club was born out of discussions between the then Principal of the North Rocks Public School , Bob Burns, and interested parents. Jock Scougall was the inaugural President and for the first couple of years, games were played at the school grounds.
It is sometimes said that “You never really own a precious item…you can only ever expect to look after it for future generations” and this applies perfectly to the North Rocks Soccer Club. As is the norm, Mums and Dads become team managers and coaches of the teams that their children join and some of them go a bit further and join the management of the club. As many have discovered personally, involvement with NRSC is infectious and, once bitten, it is very hard to get it out of your system, if indeed you wish to get it out.
During the Club’s 40th anniversary celebrations in 2005, several significant functions provided both formal and casual ways of ensuring that past and present members kept in touch.
Club Direction
The club is currently in a stage of controlled growth, with some 800 players expected to participate in Association-based and In-House matches. The Club continues to provide a venue for all comers to play and participate in soccer, the ‘World Game’, with four playing fields being required to satisfy the demand. We are one of the larger clubs affiliated with the Granville & Districts Soccer Football Association (GDSFA).
