Additional Information

  • By submitting an EOI form you will assist us in evaluating interest and organising team numbers, with the goal of keeping teams to a maximum of 9 players. Please note that while we will make every effort to accommodate all players, submitting an EOI does not guarantee a spot on a team, as availability may be limited based on the number of teams we can form, and level of interest.

  • While we recognise the importance of friendships, team selection is based on a number of factors, including experience, skill level, and maintaining balanced team numbers. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that players will be placed with their close friends.

  • Please submit a separate EOI form for each child.
