Junior Coaching & Competition

There is a junior program for <13 yrs on Monday afternoons 5.30-7pm during school term at Marrara Multipurpose Stadium on Abala Rd, Darwin. 

Children can join a juniors-only program for their age-group, and those who wish to develop their skills further can access coaching.

Juniors with more developed skills and keen to play competitively are welcome to join the main pennant competition, which has A, B & C grades.
