GENERAL QUESTIONS
What age group does my child play in?
Your child’s team is determined by the age they turn that season. For example, if your child turns 9 at any time during the calendar year, they will be in Under 9’s. There are allowances for skilled players to ‘play up’ a year and that can be discussed with club officials.
Ages are grouped as follows:
- MiniRoos (Under 6 to Under 11) play on a Saturday.
- Juniors (Under 12 & Under 13) play on a Saturday and occasionally on a Sunday, while Juniors (Under 14 to under 16) play on Sunday or Friday night.
- Seniors, which include under 18’s, Men’s and Women’s, can play anytime on the weekend.
- Women's Over 30's, Men's Over 35's and Men's Over 45's usually play Friday nights and some Sundays.
How long does the season last?
Depending on age group the season starts in March/April and final rounds finish in September, with finals played in September. MiniRoos don't play finals. Please check the Club calendar on the home page for more details.
Do you accept Fair Play Vouchers?
Yes, we are an accredited Fair Play Club. Once you have obtained your voucher please print it out, sign it and bring to the club along with a valid identification. This will need to be presented to an authorised committee member.
I’ve placed an order through the online shop – where do I collect it?
Once our uniform shop volunteer has packed your order you will be emailed advising it is ready for collection. Once you have received notification that your order is ready you can be collect it on a Friday morning from 9 -12am or from the canteen during opening hours. There are special collection options during pre-season. Please email admin@brightonbulldogs.org.au or check the Facebook page for up to date information.
How do I find out when and where fixtures are being held?
On the website home page, click on ‘Fixtures/ Results’ and look for your particular team’s link. The teams are listed alphabetically, not in age groups.
Due to the nature of team nominations, fixtures will not be released until the week before the first game. The fixtures will be released for the first three rounds and once the divisions have been finalised they will release the fixtures for the remainder of the season.
Fixture times are decided by Football Brisbane, and can change up until the day before play, so best to always double check.
How do I know which field our team is playing their match on at the Club?
When you arrive at the Club, take a walk over to the sheds and you will see the list of all the games and the fields written up on the board for the day’s play. Each ground will have a similar system. If you are unsure please ask the ground official, identifiable by their fluoro vest.
It’s raining! How do I find out if the team is playing?
Go to the website home page and look on the right hand side of the website to see if the fields are open or closed. This is the best place to look and is updated regularly.
