Training Requirements​​​​​​​

  • Teams will be training multiple times a week throughout the term, with expectations for extra training in their own time. 
  • We expect that selected young athletes commit to their team and attend all trainings. If multiple trainings are missed, it will be up to the coaching staff to decide whether the selected individual remains in that squad. 
  • Please know we will do our utmost to assist our U18 players in enjoying their season with HBWP.

Uniform Sales

Once selected into the squad, information will be released about a “Registration Night” where squad members are to place their order for uniforms. We bulk order uniforms from overseas, so players and parents will be required to attend this evening to try on and order the kit for the season. 

Players must have the club togs and uniform to play in any tournaments.
