It’s a mixed team for kids with no experience and we really need another four or five players. You need to be 5,6,7 or 8 (if 8 must be after 30^th Apr)

We have Rohan, Tilly, Sunday, Khalid and one other child from another school.

The games are early on Sat mornings 8:30 for 45 minutes at Coburg Stadium in Outlook Dr. and I can pick up if needed (if not too far away…)
