PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Each in-house team requires volunteers for coach and manager, with other parents rostered to set up and take down the goals. We encourage teams to organise their own training sessions throughout the week to prepare for game day.

All parents/spectators (excluding coach) are expected to stay outside of the pitch lines during games to avoid damage to the grounds.

AFF players: 13th grade

To be eligible for an AFF team, you must take part in Term 1 Preseason training. 13^th Grade teams compete at AFF level, with some teams entered at Metro/Conference level across NFF & AFF regions at the club’s discretion.

As part of our player development programme, training will involve a commitment of at least 2 sessions per week for all players. Those who show the potential and drive to play at their highest ability will then be given a place in the Elite/Premier squad – this involves 3 training sessions per week.

To register for Term 1 2020 training, log in to your Club Hub account and click “Tasks” and then “Purchases & Bookings”. Please be aware that this comes with an additional cost for professionally coached sessions.
