The Point Cook Soccer Club was established in 2008 in Point Cook, in the western suburbs of Melbourne.[1] The club plays its home games at Saltwater Reserve, which boasts some of the best sporting facilities in Victoria with 1 synthetic oval, 2 x football/cricket ovals and three turf soccer pitches.[2] As of 2014 it had more than 500 members, ranging from junior to senior levels, and including both male and female teams.[1] By 2014 the club had three girls' teams and a women's team.[3]
The under-14 boys' team were runners-up at the Kanga Cup in Canberra in 2013.[1] This is the Southern Hemisphere's largest International Youth Soccer Tournament.[4] The under-15 girls' team competed in the Kanga Cup for the first time in 2014.[1] The under-12 boys won the 2014 Kanga Cup male plate in the first competition in which they played against teams from other states.[5]
In April 2015 the club appointed Craig Filer, from Wales (UK), as the club's Head Coach . The club was aiming to climb to Victorian State League Division 2 within five years, and to eventually compete in the Australian National Premier Leagues.[6]
In 2017, Point Cook SC were promoted from State League Division 4 to State League 3 and despite a tough 1st season finished a respectable 7th just 6 points of a top 3 finish.
