Since the club’s founding in 1977, Gladesville Ryde Magic FC has implemented development programs for football players to participate and excel at the highest possible level.  

The club’s philosophy is to incorporate playing systems and development outcomes to create a superior learning environment.

The club currently has senior squads competing in the NSW League Two and youth squads competing in the NSW National Premier League 2. The club also has several junior squads.

Until 2018, the club’s home ground was Magdala Park, situated in North Ryde on the leafy Lane Cove River. The 2018 season brought with it the inception of a new home ground, Fortress Magic, at the newly upgraded Christie Park.
