New to Aussie Rules? Give It a Go!
Whether you’re a returning player or
completely new to Australian Rules Football, our pre-season is the
perfect time to get involved, get active, and meet the team. Our friendly coaches and experienced players will teach you the basics and help you feel comfortable on the field. When? If you’re unsure about jumping straight in, you’re more than welcome to come watch a session or two. The
training session runs for approximately 55 minutes incorporating a
mixture of skill development and sneaky fitness. Players are encouraged
to participate at the best of their ability and take water breaks when
needed (no need to ask coach's permission). Facilities include washrooms inside
the stadium, located just before the dome entrance.There is a set
stairs and rotating doors to enter the dome's playing surface.

Everyone is invited to pre-season. We welcome all athletic abilities, ages, and genders. Pre-season is predominantly non-contact (there might be some flying elbows like basketball though)
