1.Training in MarchOur February KICKSTART program has successfully concluded.
For March we will move to team-based pre-season training to the John Cain soccer pitches (opposite Bunnings) until cricket rolls off Pitcher Park
Your TM/coach will communicate times separately through WattsApp etc (remember to include any new players as we move through this clunky transitional/registration phase) until our TeamApp playing lists are finalised for 2024.
Contact Amy (secretary@pjfc.com.au)
should you need assistance with comms.
Brad Stammers (footyops@pjfc.com.au) is currently finalising the longer-term winter training slots to be advised next week.

These teams are well subscribed for kids but won’t be able to get on the park without some urgent assistance.
