We play out of Novocastrian Park on Orchardtown Road, New Lambton, and we are a suburban, grass-roots, community-focussed, not-for-profit local football Club. We have approximately 900 members, 30% of whom are females. We also have a contingent of members who identify as having a disability.
New Lambton FC Juniors has a long history of being a competitive, welcoming, and family-friendly place for people of all ages to enjoy their love of community football.
The support and generosity of partners is vital to community clubs and a partnership with the Juniors provides a fantastic avenue to increase awareness of your company’s products and services within the community whilst supporting local sports and there is no better time than now to partner with the Juniors.
As a partner of the New Lambton FC Juniors you can be assured of maximum exposure as we look to build a pathway to the future. With continued growth in participation across female and male football, now is the time to get your brand recognised in the local community as a preferred business and reach a broad market of new potential customers, whilst creating valuable good-will within your community and also giving back to grassroots football.
NLFC Juniors partnerships are a great way to help the Club raise funds to support our ongoing football programs and for people to come down and enjoy grass-roots football, mixing with other like-minded football fans. Partnerships also allow you to showcase your business to the wider community and at the same time display your support for the Club, players, volunteers and officials.
Our Club is a community Club. We welcome and invite all people within the community from diverse backgrounds (including but not limited to, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, people with diverse gender identities and sexualities, people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, people with disability, and veterans) are welcome. Inclusive design enables everyone to participate equally, confidently and independently in everyday activities.

For the first time in our history, we have tiered grandstand seating in place, which will mean a higher level of comfort and viewing opportunity for our members, their families and friends.
Our Strategic Plan outlines plans for the next 5 years that include increasing female player numbers, equipment procurement and replacement strategies as well as a facility improvement program including the complete rebuild of the outdated infrastructure to include fit-for-purpose and female-friendly facilities.
Our focus is ensuring all members are engaged, supported and encouraged. The Club is committed to working towards Football Australia’s gender equity target of 50% by 2027. This provides a timeline to work towards whilst also aligning with the playing together pillar of FA’s Legacy 2023 document. Our goal is growing the female membership from 30% to 50%.
WHO YOU WILL REACH
Away teams and their spectators / supporters that attend our games come from all over Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter including Cooks Hill, Kotara, Cardiff, Warners Bay, Dudley, Redhead, Maitland and many other metropolitan and regional locations.

We look forward to having you on board as we build a pathway to the future!
THE BENEFITS OF SUPPORTING ACTIVE LIFESTYLES
Not only does participation in sport contribute to physical and mental health outcomes and valuable social connections, but physical activity (including sport) has been linked to cognitive function and development. Physical activity has been shown to stimulate brain development and is likely to improve academic performance.
Sport isn’t just a good way to keep children’s bodies healthy, but it also has psychological benefits and teaches them important life skills too. Organised sport has many psychological and social benefits for children – even more than the physical activity during play.
Organised, well-structured youth sports and on-going physical activities can provide many benefits for children and adolescents. Positive experiences that sports and an active lifestyle bring play an important role in a young person’s life. Exercise releases chemicals like endorphins and serotonin that improve a participant’s mood. It can also get you out in the world, help to reduce any feelings of loneliness and isolation, and put you in touch with other people.
Sports stand with several other activities (e.g., education, mentoring, religious teaching and volunteering) as a potential factor in influencing positive social development among children and youth. In the other sense, sport – being fun, exciting and entertaining – can divert attention from criminal environments and activities. Sport may also offer its participants structure and a framework and thus divert youth from restlessness.
