Teams will be organised into 2 experience levels - Joeys for the less experienced and Kangaroos for the more experienced. Each club has the responsibility for assessing the players and assigning them into teams of the appropriate grading.
Each team will then play 2 games within their age group, each of 2 x 15 minute halves with the first round commencing at approximately 10:15 am. Multiple games for each experience level will be held concurrently. The Gala Day should conclude by 12:00 - 12:15 pm.
Specific fixtures for the day will be published by the host club when the number of teams in each age group from each club is known.
