Our open Junior Sign On days for 2010 have now been completed. There are still vacancies in most age groups.  Junior Sign On will contuinue on Wednesday nights between 6-7pm at the clubhouse during February.

Players wishing to enquiry about vacancies or wishing to reserve a place should contact our Secretary Michelle Campbell on 0427 977 698 and get their name on the list for appropriate age group for the 2010. 

All new players will have to provide a proof of their date of birth (birth certificates and passports only accepted).

Due to a number of changes to the Small Sided Football program by Football Federation Australia (FFA), in 2010, the Club will be offering Under 6 and 7 as in-house competitions. All these teams will play at Mt Gravatt therefore eliminating the need to travel to other clubs.  The Under 8’s will play against other clubs in a local hub and will be playing on ¼ of a full size park in a 7-a-side competition.

The Club is required to implement this new format which will result in smaller teams playing on smaller fields with modified rules.  The revised format will be extended to include the Under 10 competitions in 2010. 

The Club runs a Development Program which is based on a qualified semi-professional coach being appointed to each age group and being responsible for all players and coaches in that age group.  These coaches will also coach the highest graded team in the U11 to U16 age groups.  A Junior Development Program Levy of $80 will apply to all players (U11-U16) who are graded in the highest division (BJL or Div 1) in each age group. 

The Club has entered into a new merchandise agreement with Veto Sports and as a result we will be introducing new playing socks and shorts, as well as introducing a new playing strip in 2010.  The new Club polos and training shirts introduced in 2009 will be maintained for a further 2 years.

The Club will be replacing all current playing strips over the next 3 years.  This is being achieved through sponsorships. Team sponsorships are available from $900/year. If you are interested in sponsoring a team and getting some exposure for your business, please contact the Club.

GRADING (U11-U16)

It is club policy that all players in U11-U16 teams be graded.  This ensures that players are playing at a level appropriate to their skill level.  Grading will be undertaken between  01/02/10 and 21/02/10. See the following schedule for grading times.

All players must be registered with the club before they are able to be graded.

Please note that Selection Matches will be invitation only - players will be invited on the last training session of the week, before each match.

Grading will be completed as early as possible to enable unsuccessful players to gain membership with other clubs if they desire. Please note that there will be NO REFUNDS of registration and membership fees after they have been processed by the Club.
