OPTUS Junior Club Competition
The Optus Junior Club Competition consists of over 230 teams from Under 8 through to Under 19, catering to all levels of experience.
Two seasons are held each year - over terms 1 & 2, then terms 3 & 4. Games are played across multiple venues on Friday night (U16 & U19) and Saturday morning/afternoon (U8 - U14).
Players can get involved by joining one of our affiliated clubs or school-based teams - contact details for each are listed below. While we recommend linking up with your closest club, you are generally free to join any of your choosing. New players are able to join up until the halfway point of each season (subject to availability and eligibility rules).

PLAYER TRANSFERS
Any player wishing to change clubs for an upcoming season must have a transfer completed from their previous club prior to doing so. The transfer form can be downloaded here.
Transfers cannot be done mid-season, only between seasons (bar very few extenuating circumstances). Once a player has played a game for a club, including grading, they are locked to that club for the remainder of the season.
