There has been a huge amount of interest in an under-8 team for next year. The under-8 competition is played with modified rules according to the AFL Junior Match Policy (see below) with an emphasis on building basic skills, teamwork, sportsmanship and confidence. There is no tackling.
To be eligible to play, children must have:
1. Turned 7 years of age by April 30, 2019 and
2. Be less than years of age 8 as of December 31 of this year.
Budding footballers who are too young to play in 2019 are more than welcome to join the club and train with the team, to get a head start for 2020.
We will be opening registration soon, with some fun pre-season training planned to start in mid-late November. Stay tuned!
All the policies can be found in the AFL Australian Match Policy document.
