Can my child play with his friends?

For senior teams, players are selected by grading process. Dates and times for grading will be made available via our social media and website.

If you have registered for U6s to U11s, the club will invite you to attend a Muster Day (usually in February every year) where you will meet your team and coaches. Players in ages groups U12s to U17s may need to attend grading for squad selections.
For senior teams, the team manager or coach will contact you once grading has taken place.
