Dear Players & Parents,

Welcome to season 2021! 

Registration is now open via Play Football and all players are invited to sign up now.

We look forward to everyone returning to The Bay in what we hope will be a much more “normal” season... As everyone is aware, COVID is still well and truly a part of all our lives. With this in mind, we ask that when you register you ensure all of your contact details are up to date and that the email address you enter is one that you regularly check. This will greatly assist our committee with the sharing of information.

There is important information below about registering for the new season - please share this information with any new players looking to join GRFC.  

We can’t wait to get all of our young (and not so young) Tigers back on the pitch!

Important Stuff:

• Register by 31 January to claim a $50 early-bird fee

It is an Association requirement that all new players must reside in the Sutherland Shire and need to show proof of residence if registering for the first time. Proof documents include
