Junior Registration
All junior registrations are managed through our clubs. Before registering, please contact a club to confirm there is a spot available for your child on a team.
To register, visit your club’s website or social media pages to review the full season details. You can find the registration links there, or you may need to email the club for assistance.
When registering, ensure that you provide your correct email address, as this will be the primary way the club communicates with you.
Please remember that all our clubs are run by volunteers, so your understanding and patience are appreciated.

Player Transfers
Effective from Summer 2025, players will no longer be required to complete the separate Player Transfer JotForm.
Instead, any transfer requests must be submitted directly within the player’s registration form. Players must clearly indicate their intention to transfer, specifying the club they are leaving.
This updated process ensures that all transfer information is captured accurately at the time of registration, streamlining approvals and reducing administrative follow-up.
Competition Information
Winter Season
The Winter Season will begin on February 14, 2025, and end on August 23, 2025. Our competition will consist of four grading rounds, followed by 14 regular season competition rounds. The top four teams from each competition will advance to the semi-finals, with only the winners of the semi-finals moving on to the finals.
Please check our competition dates before registering.
To be eligible for the finals, players must participate in at least 50% of the regular season games; grading rounds do not count toward this requirement.
