WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK

All coaches and team managers are required to have a current Working with Children Check (WCC). You will also be required to have a current WCC even if you are filling in for one of these roles.

The WCC is free and can be obtained by following the link below:

Working With Children Check

The committee strongly recommends that any parent willing to step in to help coach or team manage gets their WCC just in case there is a last minute requirement. The WCC is free and lasts for 5 years.

The committee is available to help anyone with completing the WCC as required.

The latest game times are now available via the PlayHQ website. Just follow the link - HERE, find your team in the list and click on the "Select" button to view the game schedule. You will also be able to view the Map of where the court is located for directions.
