For example an Under 8 team might expect 9.00am, 9.50am or 10.40am games, an U16 team might expect 2.00pm, 2.50pm or 3.40pm games. To qualify for a certain age group the player must be under that age at 31st December of the year in which the season starts. So to be able to play U12, the player must still be 11 years of age at 31st December. The competition is played at a number of venues in the Broadmeadows, Westmeadows, Gladstone Park, Greenvale areas. The Greenvale Grizzlies currently run 31 teams in the Junior Domestic competition.
All coaching staff are volunteers, primarily parents.
There are two seasons per year. The Summer season runs from late September through February, the Winter season runs March through August. There is a break from mid-December through to late January and competition is also not held on the middle weekend of other school term holidays. There are really two components to the cost of playing. The first is the Greenvale player registration fees.
