Tuggeranong United Football Club

Change is inevitable, but it still sucks when some of the players who have done so much for TUFC move on.

In 2026, Euan Peterkin, Sam Walker, and Dylan Berkrey won't pull on the green and white hoops.

These guys were not only great players, but more importantly, great people. Always up for a chat or lending a hand, it was never too much trouble and always done with a smile.

Whether it was running masterclasses, helping at sessions on camp, mucking in on presentation days, or making our NPL boys welcome on match days when they did their first grade experience, their impact was obvious.

Whether it is retirement, moving away, or focusing on family, we know these legends will be keeping an eye on all we do as a club.

From everyone at TUFC, thank you so much for all that you did and all that you've helped us build.

You'll be sorely missed.

Go well. ... See MoreSee Less

We are pleased to announce the finalisation of our 2026 NPL Women's Coaching staff who will join First Grade Head Coach, Mitch Stevens, and Reserves Head Coach, Paul Czajkowski.

Welcome ...

Katie Kinghorne - Lead Coach
Anna Vandenbroucke - Assistant Coach
Callie Leighton - Support Coach

These coaches bring a wealth of experience to our revamped NPL Women's program. What's exciting about their appointments is their obvious passion and vision for the future of women's football at Tuggeranong.

Kinghorne, "Achieving on and off the field success while inspiring the next generation of female footballers is a real focus of mine. I am looking forward to being a part of a coaching team that works collaboratively and has the potential to redefine coaching in Canberra Football."

Leighton, "Breaking into the NPL world by getting on the forefront of TUFC's exciting developments for women's football is exciting for me. I'm passionate about seeing more women playing football, staying in for longer, and excelling further"

Vandenbroucke, "After playing for so many years, it’s really nice to now be in a position to give back. I grew up playing for Tuggeranong and was coached by my dad, which was pretty special, so being able to return and help shape the women’s program is incredibly exciting. It’s clear the Board is putting in a strong effort to shift the direction and strengthen the outcomes of the women’s program, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve this year."

Bring on 2026!

⏰ Last chance to register for U11s trials ⏰

At Tuggeranong United, we’re getting ahead of the game — literally. With Capital Football introducing changes for 2027, we’re bringing our U11s into the Development Academy program a year early.

During parent engagement, one message kept coming through loud and clear: families want a place where kids can learn, grow, and take their game to the next level. That’s exactly what we’re building.

In 2026, our boys’ and girls’ academies will include teams in U11, U12, and U13 age groups — another big step forward in our commitment to developing the next generation of players.

Dear, Members

The Board and I have been looking to our future and have commenced focusing on where we believe the club can be in three years.

The aim is to make our club even stronger.

As such, the Board and I are excited to be able to share our Strategic Plan 2026-2028 with you.

As you will notice, the Strategic Plan is broken into four pillars, these being:

1. Positive Experiences
2. Our Football Home
3. Operational Excellence
4. Diversified Income

Two Board Members have been assigned to each pillar to lead it. We have also assigned two shadows for each pillar.

The Pillar Leads are now working towards setting up the elements required under their pillars. Of course, the Board can’t execute this plan and deliver on commitments without the help of you, our amazing members.

As such, a reminder to complete the Volunteer Skills Survey. The Board are excited to engage with members and see how we can utilise your skills to help deliver this plan.

Don’t be someone who thinks, “Other people will sort that out”. Instead, fill out the survey, and we might come calling for your help. Trust me, volunteering at this club, in a small or large capacity, is hugely rewarding, and you can have a real impact on the community. Of course, there is an opportunity for you to note your level of enthusiasm and commitment to volunteering.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board Members. You all gave up precious off-season time, over multiple sessions, to contribute to this plan. It is clear that you did that because you want TUFC to be the best it can be. It was a pleasure generating ideas, debating them with you all (sometimes robustly!), and agreeing on a way forward. I am proud of your efforts and the result, and I am very much looking forward to working with you to deliver it.

Happy reading.
