We are fast approaching the start of the season. Between now and round 1, we will be conducting a variety of training sessions and team events to prepare the boys and girls for the AFL Sydney Junior 2019 season.

Below are a list of club wide events that you should be aware of. Once teams are formed, your coaches and team managers may be in contact with you regarding team specific issues.

REGISTRATIONS
If you haven’t already done so, please register as soon as possible. We are in the final stages of finalising our teams to the AFL, so we need clarity on our numbers.

In particular, we are keen to hear from any girls who are considering playing AFL. We are entering a girls team in the U10, U12, U14 & U16 competitions. This isn’t just for accomplished players. Its a great way for new girls to experience what AFL has to offer in a fun and safe environment. In the younger age groups, there is minimal tackling and the focus is on skill development.

So don’t wait any further, click here to register your child. https://membership.sportstg.com/regoform.cgi?aID=5590&formID=36056&cID=41745&nfEntityID=41745&nfEntityTypeID=3
