Hi All, Really excited to get started! For any parents of the u15s for 2026 please send me a friend request. I will put together a quick messenger group to keep people updated with dates for pre season etc. At this stage looking to start pre season on the 26th of November (couple of weeks away) I know it's an early start but I figure its going to give myself and the boys enough time to get to know each other and work on building a strong team first group.
