Boys Teams

Under 7 - Minkey (boys and girls born 2015-2017) is played on a half field with 6 players on the field at a time. The focus of this age group is development and so there are no points and no finals. 

Many Associations adopt the use of zones in their younger age groups which restrict all players to specific parts of the field according to their position. BHA does not endorse this approach as it causes players to become disengaged in the game when the ball is not in their zone.

In 2022 games are set to be played on a Saturday morning at 9:30am.  The locations are shared between Various Northside locations including our home ground at Shaw Park.

The season generally runs during terms 2 and 3 though training will commence midway through term 1.
