While team sport is great for our mental health, there are times when people feel anxious or in need of support. As a club, we want to do our very best to care for the wellbeing of our members.

FIELDS and PLAYING SURFACES
Please stand well back from the sideline, and away from the technical area.
Keep dogs well clear of playing areas and players, and always on-leash.
