All games are played on Saturdays at Pinehurst School, Bush Road, Albany, from 8:45am until mid-afternoon, according to a weekly draw. The time of the final game will depend on the number of teams.
Rounds for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 6 Teams:

Rounds for Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 Teams:
Games for Year 3 will start at 8:45am and continue throughout the day until about 2:00pm. Younger players will play in earlier rounds, with Year 5s scheduled for later.
Players must be available to play during these times, with no exceptions for other commitments. Game times may be adjusted as necessary.
