History
The Point Cook Soccer Club was established in 2008 in Point Cook, in the western suburbs of Melbourne. The club plays at the Saltwater Reserve, which has a synthetic football/cricket oval and two turf football ovals. As of 2014 it had more than 500 members, ranging from junior to senior levels, and including both male and female teams. By 2014 the club had three girls' teams and a women's team. The club has released a mobile app for Android giving current information about news, events, schedule and so on.
The under-14 boys' team were runners-up at the Kanga Cup in Canberra in 2013. This is the Southern Hemisphere's largest International Youth Soccer Tournament. The under-15 girls' team competed in the Kanga Cup for the first time in 2014. The under-12 boys' team was also scheduled to play in the Kanga Cup in July 2014, the first year in which they would be playing for points. The under-12 boys won the 2014 Kanga Cup male plate in the first competition in which they played against teams from other states.
In April 2015 it was reported that Craig Filer, from Britain, had been appointed coach of the Point Cook Jets. The club was aiming to climb to Victorian State League Division 1 within five years, and to eventually compete in the Australian National Premier Leagues.
