The history of the Ballarat Soccer Club starts back in the winter of 1967 when a meeting was held at the Bunch of Grapes Hotel in Pleasant Street South (coincidentally some 200m from the current home Trekardo Park) to establish a club to play in the Melbourne League the following season. 

Juniors

• With 10 teams over 8 divisions, Ballarat SC continues to create great pathways and opportunties for our young aspiring juniors.
• Each team is lead by an experienced and friendly coach, giving our juniors the best opportunity to grow while having a lot of fun.

State League

• At the end of the 2018 season Ballarat SC had an ambition to return to State League football.
