A schedule of training times will be posted to the web site once teams have been settled after Registration and Musters. Training can be on either Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday or Thursday afternoons, at Timbrell Park. As we don’t have lights at Timbrell Park we have time restraints until the beginning of Daylight Saving at which time the schedule may change. - Seniors
Training in summer is from 6.00pm – 8.00pm on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings during daylight savings as organised by the individual team coaches.

No cup, no play.

All players should wear sunblock during games, even the early morning games.
If you forget to bring sunblock to the ground there is a supply available at the canteen. - Water
Please ensure your child brings a bottle of water to training and games.
Wet Weather
If you are playing at home your coach or manager will be notified by our Ground Manager if Timbrell Park is closed.
If you are playing away your coach or manager should be notified by the opposition Club as to whether their ground is open.

Parents
- The Games
For home games only, teams are required to dress the diamond before and after the game. All team members are required to assist their coach/manager. - The Canteen
The Canteen is our major source of fund raising. The funds raised have and will continue to pay for the equipment used by the players and, very importantly, the trophies at the end of the season.
Remember to support the canteen as a customer on match days.
Presentation Day
All Junior players receive a Participation Award at Presentation Day.
It is also Falcons policy to make several special awards to players in each team. These are decided by the coach and manager toward the end of the season.
Players who have played with the Falcons for 5 or 10 consecutive years also receive an award
