South Coast Flame FC was launched by Football South Coast in an attempt to create a pathway for the numerous junior teams which compete in the Skills Acquisition Program (SAP) and Association Youth League (AYL); and to indirectly compete with the established elite club in the area, the
Wollongong Wolves. Football South Coast owner and chairman, Eddy De Gabriele said at the announcement of the club, “Like any start up, it is exciting and frightening but we decided that we have got to provide opportunities for the large number of players in the region.” == Current squad ==
