The origins of the Mt Gravatt Soccer Club
were formulated over 45 years ago in 1960 in the booming
post-war era southern suburbs, attracting players from
around not only the Mt Gravatt district, but also other
neighbouring and growing suburbs. The establishment of a
local soccer club provided an outlet through sporting
activity to the many young players on the southside,
previously denied activity due to rapid urban development
and lack of public transport.
Due to the foresight of the Clubs foundation members,
many talented local players have become engaged in this
rewarding endeavour, namely soccer. The aims of the club
then and now, are premised upon developing players both
in the skill of the game and general life skills learnt
in a team activity.
The club in its infancy firstly assumed residence within
the environs of the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds, but as the
years passed the popularity for soccer grew and the
subsequent attraction of players to Mt Gravatt increased
rapidly, the club made the decision to seek more
extensive and accommodating surroundings and relocated to
the current grounds at Dittmer Park Klumpp Rd.
Mt Gravatt Soccer Club has thrived and succeeded over the
past 45 years based on the established traditions of
catering to junior development, fostering many past and
current players to attain their goal of representation at
the highest level in their chosen sport.
Mt Gravatt Soccer Club is highly recognised as a quality
stable that possesses a pedigree in the development of
junior players who regularity attain Regional, State and
National selection and esteemed honour.
