Players play in the age group they turn in the current calendar year.  For example:  if your child turns 12 in 2025, they will play in the U12’s team.  

Players may play up one year but not up two years.  For example:  a player turning 12 in 2025 can play in the U13’s but not in the U14’s.  Club permission is required to play up one year and these requests must be directed to the registrar before the club Muster Night. It will be at the clubs discretion as to whether it is possible.

Any player seeking to play in a team whose age group is younger than the player’s calendar year age group, will have to undergo a dispensation process with no guarantee of them being accepted.

Players must have turned 5 to be eligible to play in the Under 6’s.  

All club communications are now distributed via Albany Creek brumbies Family Facebook page. Please seek access to keep up to date with all that’s happening at the club.  Teams may also communicate via other means such as age group Facebook pages or WhatsApp.

It is essential that once you have registered your child, that you join one of these groups so that we can communicate with you.  If you don’t have Facebook please let us know so we can organise an alternative way to stay in touch.
