Our Season
As it currently stands, it is looking like we will be starting our season on the last Saturday of the holidays. There are no finals this season. This will be discussed at training and any further details will be communicated to individual teams- we will also be ascertaining availability of players as it is a game in the holidays.
So our season as it currently stands will commence on the following date:
Saturday 18th July to 12th September
Team game times are yet to be confirmed by Capital football. We alternate between home and away games on a Saturday. At the moment there is talk of additional game days but nothing has been made official. Our season end date will currently remain the same and that is September 12th.

Information will be communicated by your team managers once we have the draw released from Capital Football.
Uniform and Gear
Boys can wear sports gear for training in the afternoon, soccer boots and shin pads. For game day, boys will be provided with an Eddies soccer jersey but must have their own soccer shorts, shin pads and socks. These are available in our uniform shop.
All players must have their own drinking bottle and not share at any time. We have water stations for the boys to their bottles at training.
Registration
Registrations are NOW OPEN AGAIN. Capital Football have announced that they have dropped their fees which will have an impact on the total registration fee charged. Please make sure you registers your son as soon as possible – this will ensure that we can start the season with all relevant details and registered players.
If you have already registered and paid full price, Capital football will be assisting us in arranging refunds. There has been a slight delay in this process as they have been working on readjusting fees. Thank you for your patience as we navigate these circumstances.
