Canteen and BBQ duty
No duties in weeks 1–5. From week 6, one team is rostered each week: two parents on the BBQ and two in the canteen, 8–9:30am. It helps keep the program affordable.
Wet weather
Field closures are posted on this website and our Facebook page, usually by 5pm Friday. If it rains on Saturday morning, fields are checked at 7am and updates go out straight away.
Field layout
Field 1 is split into 10 small fields: 1–4 for Funskills and 5–10 for U7. Teams set up their own field on game days. Only players, coaches and managers go on the field; parents watch from behind the fence.
