Friday night kids soccer at Curl Curl: what it is
Friday Night U7 - 5pm is a social kids competition for under-7s. It is mixed, so boys and girls play together. It is played 5-a-side, which means small groups and plenty of touches on the ball.
It suits kids who are new to the game, kids who loved winter football and want more, and kids who simply like running around with friends. The focus is fun first, in an organised setting.
How it fits with MiniRoos and winter football
Winter club football, including MiniRoos, runs from April to August. From September, many kids move to midweek small-sided football through summer. Friday Night U7 is one way to do that.
It sits alongside club football, not against it. Clubs restart in April, and your child can return to their club then with a few more months of ball time behind them.
Why a Friday 5pm slot works for families
A 5pm start means school is done for the week and the weekend has not begun. For many parents it is a simple end to the week: head to the venue, watch the game, then go home. Your child does not need to be part of a weekend roster to take part.
Friday night football near Harbord: the venue
KIKOFF Northern Beaches is on Bennet Street, Curl Curl. It has 4 caged 5-a-side pitches with futsal line markings. The surface is floodlit synthetic, so evening games run under lights.
The pitches are caged with futsal line markings, so kids can play soccer or futsal. The cage keeps the ball in play, which means fewer stoppages and more action for small players. You can see more on the KIKOFF Northern Beaches venue page. The venue is open year-round.

FAQs
What age is the Friday night U7 competition for?
It is a U7 division, so it is designed for under-7s. It is a mixed competition, which means boys and girls play together. It is played 5-a-side on a caged pitch at KIKOFF Northern Beaches in Curl Curl, so it suits kids who are new to football or want more games.
What time and night is it on?
It runs on Friday nights at 5pm at KIKOFF Northern Beaches, Bennet Street, Curl Curl. It started on Friday 11 September 2026 and finishes on Friday 18 December 2026. Arrive a little early on your first night so your child can settle in.
How much does it cost?
Individual entry is $200 per child. You register your child individually rather than as a team, so there is no team fee to split. Check the registration page for what is included before you confirm, and have your Active Kids details handy if you plan to use a voucher.
Can my child join if the season has already started?
Registration is open at the time of writing, even though the competition started on Friday 11 September 2026. Register as soon as you can so your child can get playing before the season finishes on Friday 18 December 2026.
Do we need to bring a team?
No. Friday Night U7 is an individual-entry competition. You register your child on their own, and we handle the grouping. It is a good fit if your child does not have a ready-made team or you want a low-effort Friday night.
Is it an open pitch?
No. KIKOFF Northern Beaches has caged 5-a-side pitches with futsal line markings. Kids can play soccer or futsal, and the pitches are floodlit synthetic. The cage keeps the ball in play, which is handy for young players.
Does this clash with MiniRoos?
It does not have to. Winter club football, including MiniRoos, runs from April to August. Friday Night U7 runs from September to December, so it fits the summer gap. Clubs restart in April, and your child can go back then.
