JOIN/PLAY
2026 Winter season teams announced
Please note that many hours have been spent by our dedicated volunteers to craft teams to the best of our ability to include friendship requests, player skills and the need for balanced teams formed from the number of registrations received in each age group. We thank our volunteer Age Group Coordinators for their time and efforts.
The Club reserves the right to move players within the first five weeks of the season if the Committee/Age Group Coordinator/WBA thinks that individual players have been placed in the wrong division or if we need to balance numbers within teams of the same age group.
Please ensure you read our Code of Conduct and Policies found on the Resources page. Acknowledgement of our Code of Conduct is a condition of registration. Our club prides itself on our excellent reputation and we trust our members will always act respectfully.

Requests for playing in different age groups can be made and will be considered depending on overall numbers and team allocation. NO guarantee is given that your child can play in a different age group. Please email the Registrar if you wish to play in a different age group to that which you would automatically be placed based on date of birth.
U12 and U14 players can choose to either trial for a performance team or be placed in a development team. All players are required to list three friend requests, and we aim to guarantee at least one. The exception is performance teams, where friend requests are considered as a guide only.
Grading for performance teams will held in March. Confirmed dates will be emailed to those players. More information can be found in our team selection and grading policy on the Resources page.
