Playing Up Age Groups
All children will be automatically allocated to their true age group, based on above. We endeavour to keep children in their true age group, as their primary team, wherever possible. Where circumstances allow, opportunities may exist for many children to play up age groups at times throughout the season. That said, if your child would like to play up an age group as their primary team (perhaps to play with friends or if they previously played up an age-group), you will need to complete the following REQUEST TO PLAY-UP FORM which will be reviewed by our Football Operations Committee. Requests will not be assessed until early February 2026 & the Football Operations Committee will advise the outcome of the request. Players will only be able to play up provided there is room in teams & contingent on the reason/s given. There are also limitations set by the Sydney Junior AFL By-Laws which restrict players playing up age-groups in certain circumstances. Any questions regarding playing up age groups, should be directed to Steve Wall (President) president@hornsbyberowraeagles.com 0425 359 745.
If you have a child of u7 age (i.e. born in 2018) that wants to play in an u8 boys/mixed team or u9 girls team, please contact registrar@hornsbyberowraeagles.com to discuss this. The registration platform will not automatically allow children of this age to register for junior football.
Transfers
The club welcomes players transferring from other clubs & acknowledges that players from our club may wish to move to another club. There is a process that needs to be followed regarding transfers, as well as some limitations & restrictions, as set out by the AFL. The club with which the player previously played, will need to approve the transfer, so it is courteous to advise them of the intention to transfer. The AFL has designated transfer windows for the 2026 season – transfers can take place between 1 November 2025 & 30 November 2025 & then not until after 1 February 2026. Anyone looking at transferring should commence the registration process with the club they intend to move to. The registration will be pending until such time that the transfer is approved (which needs to be done by the departing club, the club the player is moving to and also by Sydney AFL Juniors or any other Association the clubs involved belong to; so the process can take a little time.
Should you have any queries regarding transfers, please contact our club registrar Neil Saunders registrar@hornsbyberowraeagles.com 0423 139 702

If your family is eligible for the Service NSW “Active & Creative Kids” Vouchers, these can be used at checkout (under government vouchers).
