Please use the individual registration form and include any relevant details like who you would like to play with and if
you wish to stay with the same team as last year etc.
By signing up an individual you are agreeing to us appointing a coach/manager.
Draws:

our site reconstruction has been completed.

Eligibility of Players:
The Christchurch Park competition organisers rely on coaches to provide the correct school year of players. If the
school year is challenged, the onus is on the player to produce proof of school year and we reserve the right to
approach schools to confirm that the player’s school year provided is correct. Teams that play a game with any
player(s) not in the correct grade will forfeit the game unless agreed prior to the start of the competition.
