Club spirit – If you’ve got any mates that are even half keen, bring them along! Enthusiasm is the only pre-requisite. Being a uni club, we have a great record of welcoming new players every year into a supportive environment.  It’s important that we keep doing this and treat our team mates, opposition and umpires with respect. Its something we take pretty seriously so please reach out to your captain or a committee member if you have any questions.

Sponsorship opportunities – There are still plenty of sponsorship opportunities with your club. We offer exposure to a vibrant community organisation with lots of students and professionals. The more we can gain in sponsorship the less we have to pay in fees. If you’re interested please reach out to anumchpresident@gmail.com.
