Season dates and game days: Wednesdays, starting 16 September (Week 9, Term 3). The season is usually 6 weeks long, so last game is anticipated to be Wednesday 4 November (TBC).

The Girls’ Super League A team will also play in the Girls – Premier League. They will also play on Friday afternoons. Games will start on Friday, 16 October (Week 1, Term 4). The season is usually 4 weeks long, so last game is anticipated to be on Friday, 6 November.

Venue and Time: 4pm start. Game venues vary each week according to the draw and are released a week prior. Each week, teams are required to be present for three games in total – they play two games and do duty (refereeing, etc.) for one game. As a general guide, the games are scheduled at 4pm, 5pm and 6pm, but this can change if the games run shorter/longer. Games are best of 3 sets, and each set can vary in length as it’s first team to reach 25 (or 15 in the 3^rd set) with a 2-point difference. 

Training: All teams will train on Fridays – 3.30-5pm in the Event Centre.
Other trainings may be added – info will be provided in your team’s TeamReach group.

Important note re girls’ uniform:

Referee course, Friday 25th September, 3.30-5.30pm, KingsWay Senior Campus

Players are required to complete this form: Referee Course and payment will be $20 cash direct to Storm on Friday.

Super League A teams may have the opportunity to participate in the Auckland Champs, from Wednesday 11 November till Friday 13 November at the Bruce Pullman Centre. We anticipate the cost being in the region of $230.
