WINTER SPORT REGISTRATIONS
Registrations are now OPEN for many of our winter sporting codes. In 2024, 49 young men played Badminton, 333 played Basketball, 50 played Canoe Polo, 221 played Football, 120 played Hockey, 390 played Rugby, 36 played Squash and 100 played Table Tennis. With these numbers involved there is a significant amount of organisation and administration required. Having an accurate idea of player numbers is essential so we can ensure we have enough coaches and managers for our teams. Consequently, if your son is keen to play winter sport we encourage you to complete the registration process as soon as possible.
