A number of clubs are holding upcoming sign-on days and are inviting everyone to get involved.

AFL

Port Douglas junior crocs are holding a sign-on day on Sunday 21 February for U8s to U18s girls and boys, as well as for Auskick and Little Superstars aged between five and seven.

The day is a chance for players to come and try their hand at AFL, meet the coaches, test their skills, try on the gear, and have fun.

Coach Craig Mitchell said AFL is for both boys and girls, with the girls competition growing by leaps and bounds over the last couple of years.

“We have gone from two to 27 girls on the last two years,” he said.

“We have a lot of talented girls in the region, who didn’t realise they had the talent until they started playing, so we want to make sure girls understand that AFL is an option for them.”

The sign on day kicks off from 10:00am until 1:00pm at the Port Douglas Sporting Complex.

Netball

Registrations are now open for the Douglas Netball Association 2021 season. The club is currently holding free strength and conditioning sessions for players before four weeks of Come and Try matches in March.

The 12- to 15-year-old program is on Mondays at 4:30pm followed by the senior women’s competition at 6:30pm. While the senior men’s competition is on Tuesdays at 6:00pm.
