Langwarrin Soccer Club is an Australian soccer club based in Langwarrin South, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 1964, the club competes in National Premier Leagues Victoria 2.
History
Langwarrin Soccer Club was formed by local Dutch Australians in 1964 as an alternative to Australian rules football in the region. The initial name of the club was The Langwarrin All Stars. The side played its first games at the local primary school, and soon moved to the site of the Frankston golf driving range on Cranbourne Road. The first game was against Melbourne who beat the young All Stars 20–1.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}
In 1968, the club moved to its current home on Barretts Road. The land was donated to the club by Wally Lawton and became known as Lawton Park. The first senior team at Langwarrin was formed in 1968.
In 1981, Langwarrin entered the Victorian Provisional League One. In 1991, works were completed on the new clubrooms at Lawton Reserve. In 1994 the grounds were relaid.
In 1999, Gus Macleod was appointed as senior head coach of the club, a position he would go on to hold for 20 seasons.
Langwarrin was promoted to the National Premier Leagues Victoria 2 competition after taking out the State League Division 1 South-East championship title in 2017.{{Cite web|url=http://websites.sportstg.com/comp_info.cgi?a=LADDER&compID=438262&c=1-8746-124161-298157-0|title=Ladder for Men's State League 1 South-East|website=SportsTG|language=en|access-date=2018-12-04}} In 2018, the club's first season in the National Premier Leagues league system, Langy finished in 8th place in the 10-team NPL2 East competition.{{Cite web|url=http://websites.sportstg.com/team_info.cgi?id=26147053&client=0-10178-187106-479662-26147053&compID=479661&a=LADDER|title=Ladder for Langwarrin SC - SportsTG|website=SportsTG|language=en|access-date=2018-12-04}}
