Dear Lilydale Montrose United Family,

Welcome to the 2026 season! I hope you’ve all had a fantastic summer and are as eager as I am to get back out on the pitch.

This is shaping up to be an incredibly exciting year for the club. We are seeing record growth, which has allowed us to expand our Miniroos program to run across both Saturdays and Sundays. To celebrate the massive growth in this group, we have officially rebranded our Gala Day program to Mini Goats Football—we can't wait to see our youngest players embracing the new energy! We are also fielding even more Junior teams this year as our community continues to thrive.


New Opportunities: Women’s Social & State League Men
- Social Women’s Team: We are thrilled to be starting a social Women’s team! If you're interested in a fun, community-focused way to get on the pitch, come down to the club on Thursday, 12 February. For more details, contact Matt on 0415 529 661.

- State League Men: Our senior men's squad is looking for a few more players to round out the roster. If you're ready to compete, contact Michael on 0400 499 129. Get in quick—our Australia Cup campaign kicks off with a massive game on 14 February!


Important: Our New 3-Step Registration Process
Please complete these in order to ensure you are cleared for match day:
1. - Register with the Club: Head to our Majestri Portal to secure your spot.
2. - Order Uniform & Merch: Orders are handled via Tradexco.
Sizing: Tradexco sizing is similar to standard Target, Big W, and Kmart children's sizes.
Try it on: Uniform sizing kits are now available in the club rooms for those who want to check the fit before ordering.
3 - Register with the League: Both the Football Victoria and BFA portals will be available starting next week.


Moving to Spond
We are officially closing down Stack TeamApp and moving our communication to Spond.
All registered members should have already received an invite. This will be our primary hub for all club updates and schedules.

Upcoming Coaches Meeting
A reminder for all coaches (and aspiring coaches!) that we have a meeting this Wednesday, 11 February at 6:30 PM in the club rooms at Montrose. All are welcome.


Payment Plans
We want everyone to have the chance to play. Payment plans are available—simply sign up via Majestri and choose the "Payment Plan" option at the end of the registration.
I look forward to seeing the Goats and Roses back in action very soon. Let’s make 2026 our best season yet!

Best regards,
Evan - President Lilydale Montrose United (LMU)
