Please book your child’s spot for the end of season celebrations and presentations by using the links / QR codes for their correct age group which you will find in the comments. These will also be available on the website soon!

Unfortunately we can only accomodate our players, no siblings. Parents are more than welcome to stay for presentations, which will be towards the end of the session.

For the U19’s presentation we ask for parents to call Oscars and book their own tables if attending.

We are still waiting for the remaining shipment, fingers crossed they come early next week!

We are still having the uniform shop open Saturday 20th April from 10am - 2pm, however we only have the shorts for pick up & payment.

Monday night for new players to the club is still on and we are also opening up Thursday 25th April (Anzac Day) from 5pm - 8pm.
