Over 35s Soccer Sydney: Monday Nights at Curl Curl

If you're after over 35 soccer Sydney has plenty of midweek options, but the Monday Over 35 Mens league at KIKOFF Northern Beaches is the one built specifically for this age group. It's played at Curl Curl on caged 5-a-side pitches with futsal line markings, run week to week from Monday 7 September 2026 through to Sunday 20 December 2026. Team entry is $1,700, registration is by team, and the competition is run with our partner NBFA. If your knees have earned a break from full-field club football but you still want a real game, this is where Monday nights go.

Who the Monday Over 35s league is for

This is a mens grade for players aged over 35, built around 5-a-side football rather than 6-a-side. It suits blokes coming out of winter club football who want to keep playing through summer, or anyone who wants one solid weeknight game with a settled group of mates. Games are competitive but social. Nobody's chasing a first-grade dream here — they're chasing a decent touch of the ball and a cold drink after.

How it's different from Eastgardens Over 45s 6-a-side

It's worth being upfront about the difference, because the two competitions aren't the same product. The Over 45s league at KIKOFF Eastern Suburbs (Eastgardens) is 6-a-side, played on open pitch, and set up for an older age band. The Monday Over 35s at Curl Curl is 5-a-side, played on caged pitches with futsal line markings, and pitched at a younger adult grade. Curl Curl is soccer or futsal on a smaller, faster surface. If you're specifically after masters soccer Northern Beaches style — caged, quick, local — this is your lane. If you'd rather the bigger open-pitch 6-a-side format further along the age curve, that's the Eastgardens competition, not this one.

Format and season dates

The Monday Over 35 Mens league is 5-a-side, mens grade, adult age band, played weekly on Mondays. The season runs from Monday 7 September 2026 to Sunday 20 December 2026. Team entry is $1,700 and registration is by team, not individual. It's run in partnership with NBFA, who look after the Northern Beaches summer competitions alongside KIKOFF.

For players hunting an over 35 5-a-side format specifically, this ticks the box: five-a-side, caged, floodlit, on futsal markings, at a purpose-built venue rather than a club oval. It also sits inside the broader shift Sydney football makes every September, as winter club football wraps up and midweek small-sided leagues take over through summer.

How to register

Registration for the Monday Over 35 Mens league is by team, so you'll need a full squad organised before you sign up. Get your regular Monday night crew together, confirm your goalkeeper and a couple of subs, and register as a team through the Northern Beaches leagues page. Turn up in matching or similar colours if you can, bring shin pads and indoor or turf boots suited to a caged synthetic pitch, and get there with enough time to warm up before kick-off. Games run to a set weekly schedule for the length of the season, so once you're in, it's the same night, same pitch, most weeks through to December.
