VETERANS

The Doceroos were formed in June 2006 with the aim of giving guys the opportunity of having a bit of fun whilst gaining some fitness at the same time. We hoped we could get enough players to have an odd friendly game but the response was so good that we had enough players for three teams. In 2008 DOC Football Academy decided that it needed its own club for their young players to graduate in too. DOC United Football Club was formed and registered teams with the Football Federation Victoria.The veterans formed a team and entered into the over 35s masters league. It turned out a very fruitful one as they finished their first season in third position.

We had a lot of players who wanted to play but felt the Masters league was too competitive for them. There was nothing to accommodate them so we decided to start our own league for Over/45s. We advertised for clubs to join us and the V-league was born. 2010 will see the V-league start its third season.

We have a great bunch of guys consisting of ex- players, Businessmen, Parents of Academy kids etc. Some of the players have played at a good level in their heyday while others have never played before which is fine because its about having a go and keeping as fit as possible.

We train every Wednesday night starting at 7pm to 8.30pm and welcome new players to come along and have a kick. It does not matter if you have never played before or if you feel that you are lacking in ability, WHO CARES its about getting out there and having a kick and most importantly having FUN.
