CELEBRATING OUR REP SEASON, NORTHS FAMILY

Every single one of our representative teams put in the work this season, showing up, training hard, and getting better week on week. That effort was reflected in some outstanding results, with six of our teams taking out their league:

🏆 U12 Red Boys (MJL)
🏆 U14 Red Girls (MJL)
🏆 U16 Black Boys (JPL)
🏆 U16 Red Boys (MJL)
🏆 U18 Black Boys (JPL)
🏆 U18 Black Girls (JPL)

But these results are just one part of the story; every team across our Rep program grew this season, and that improvement is what we're most proud of. To all our players, coaches, managers and families! Thank you for the effort you put in all year 👏

Onwards to 2027.

Hair With Heart Week is coming to Norths!

Alongside the team at Variety, we're kicking off Hair With Heart Week from 14-17 September, in our After School Programs! We want to see crazy hair and plenty of colour across Norths all week long! Our coaches will be getting into the spirit too 👀

On Saturday 19th September, we’re turning up the fun at Miniball for our big Hair With Heart fundraising day, with a crazy hair colour station, a charity bake sale, merch and more.

Feeling particularly heroic? We’re also looking for a Hair Cut Hero to donate their hair on the day! 🦸‍♀️

Crazy hair all week. Big fundraising energy on Saturday.

You’ll find donation buckets and a QR code around Norths throughout the week, so you can show your support for this incredible cause.

Let’s get colourful for a cause 🎨🏀
