Main Season: Our main season competition typically runs from the end of April to early August, with 5 grades available for Men & Women over various age groups. All games are held at Archer Stadium during weekdays from 3.30pm for school grades, with adult leagues following later in the evening. All teams need to provide a referee and will be allocated bench duty during the season before or after their game as required. Season dates and entry information will be available on our website around 1 month before the league is due to start.
