2025 SEASON PLAY DATES
Check out all the dates in our Calendar sections (see Calendar tab above).
4-8yo Small Whites - check out the Small Whites section, especially the Format page with the season dates.
*
TEAM PLACEMENTS - we do not grade/trial players.
Returning players go back into the same team as the previous year unless they request a change.
New players are added to teams to keep numbers balanced.
If you have a request to play with a friend or in a particular team, add a comment in the notes when registering & we will honour it if we can. No need to email your request.
For Small Whites, U9s & new members, we try to group players by school, friend group or previous team mates.
Teams also need coaches & managers so we sometimes have to move players to spread the coach/manager volunteers.
