About Us:
Since our establishment in 1989, we’ve been dedicated to fostering participation, skill development, and a true team spirit across all ages and levels of the game. Wainui Sports Club is a community-focused football club.
Based at Wainui Reserve and Heath Johnston park, we field multiple men’s teams — including the Sharks, Demons, and Salty Dogs — as well as the highly successful women’s team, Wainui Riverina, and youth representative squads. Our club also runs Pre-Academy and youth programmes designed to nurture young talent and prepare players for competitive play.
At Wainui Sports Club, we’re about more than just football — we’re about community, inclusion, and helping players of all abilities grow both on and off the pitch. We strive to create a welcoming environment where families, volunteers, coaches, and supporters all come together to celebrate sport and community spirit.
Whether you’re here to play, support, or get involved, we’re glad you’re part of the Wainui family.
