T​​​​​​​rainings

Trainings are on Wednesdays at our home grounds.  Times of each training is determined at the start of each season.

Game days

Please arrive 15-30 minutes before the game starts. Games are either held at home at Hugh Hayward Domain or away at other clubs grounds.

Setup/pack down: We encourage parents and players to help set up and packdown the fields with the Coaches at home game days to make the day go smoother.

After match:   Players and families are invited back to the club rooms for player of the day presentations. For all home games we host the other team, this involves parents bringing a plate of food for the players to enjoy after the game.  The Club provides cordial, water, tea and coffee to those that want it.

Away games:  Some games require travel, dependent on the team/grade.  Reach out to other parents to see if you can carpool should you need it.​​​​​​​
