The club prides itself on being the most social and welcoming football club in the league and work tirelessly to ensure this culture is maintained. We welcome all travellers and ex-pats to come out and join our club for a kick and giggle - or simply to socialise with some Aussies and a great bunch of Canadians to boot. No experience or level of fitness is required - just a willingness to have a good time. So come out and say g'day.
We start out pre-season training in Feb/Mar of each year - indoors of course. And once outdoors we train at two locations in the downtown area.
