Check the schedules below to find out when you should be ready to lace up the boots and show those kids the real meaning of football. The games are open to all the mums, grandmas, aunties, sisters and friends that play such an important role in our lives.
Last week's wet weather and this week's forecast high temperatures late in the week have forced a significant re-shuffle of our grading and muster schedules for the remainder of the sessions.

Full details and times are available on our Gradings and Musters page.
Due to the prevailing wet weather conditions this week, Council has elected to close the grounds to all organised sports apart from cricket until 4pm Friday 22 February.
This means grading sessions for:

Due to weather conditions, the grading and team formation for Under 8 and Under 13 only has been combined and will take place on Wednesday 21 February 2024.
The Muster team formation will take place at this regardless of whether or not grounds have been reopened by Council.
Please note that each team requires a coach and a manager be appointed on the night. Teams cannot go ahead without a coach or manager.
More information on the grading process is available on our Grading and Musters page.
Our team grading sessions scheduled for tonight have been postponed. The rain of the last few days has made the ground very wet and unstable, and as a precaution Blacktown Council has closed grounds until at least 4pm Wednesday 21 February.
All players and parents affected by the ground closure will be contacted by the club with more information on next steps.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
