FAQs
How does the club communicate? Via email throughout the season and Facebook on the day for any cancellations.

Do we need to supply a team Manager?
Yes, all teams must have someone nominated to recieve communications and be the main point of contact.
Do we need to supply a Coach?

Are there proper games or is it more a run-around/drills?

Do we need to purchase your tee shirts or can we have someone else sponsor a team?
Teams supply their own team tops or use our bibs.There are bibs available each week if you have two teams with the same colour tops playing each other. Numbers on the tops are not essential.
Do we supply referees or are they supplied?
Each team needs to provide a referee and be prepared to referee at least half a game. Due to the number of teams entering the competition, we cannot provide referees for games.
