You can email us to let us know you are looking to join a team and we will informally try to connect you to teams looking for additional players. Please note, it is rare for Teams to be looking for additional players. For more information, please see below: How It Works. Primary School aged Children however, can join The Magic Academy where will help them to connect to other players looking for a team and learn skills if they are a beginner. Please see more information on The Magic Academy below. General Information:
All Games are played at the Katoomba Sports and Aquatic Centre
We run three separate competitions all year round (during school terms only).
- Primary School – Sat mornings
- High School (up to U19s) - Friday evenings
