Shorts, Socks & Merch
2023 marks a significant change for the club in the distribution and sale of shorts, socks and other merchandise. Previously, we were fortunate that Rebel sold our gear out of their Belconnen store, but unfortunately, that arrangement has ceased.
The club’s volunteers now need to distribute and sell these items to members. This will involve a hybrid model with most items sold directly by the club at Kaleen playing fields at select times and other gear sold online through KonQa, our kit and merchandise supplier.
Sold directly from the club:
- Unisex Shorts $38
- Womens Shorts $38*
- Socks $22*
- Beanies $20
- Baseball Caps $25
- Scarves $30
- Polos $60*
* awaiting delivery of Womens Shorts, Polos and Belnorth Socks. Generic yellow socks are available for $10. Updates will be provided when available.
Available on the KonQa store:
- Spray Jackets $75
- Backpacks $66
- Hoodies $70^
- Track Jackets $75^
- Track Pants $60^
^ Pre-order items until 7/5/2023 with an expected mid-June arrival.
Members will be able to buy merchandise at Kaleen Playing Fields on Saturday 15th of April between 10 am to 12 pm.
Further sessions after this date will be announced, including some weeknights in the lead up to the junior season.
Game Day Manager/First Aid – Paid Role
Game Day Managers/First Aid Officers are needed for Saturday Kaleen Junior Game Days during the winter season. The role is paid.
Game Day Managers assist members by distributing equipment (goals, flags, etc.) on game days and administering first aid.
Potential applicants should be 18 or older with First Aid and CPR qualifications.
To express interest, email your CV and proof of qualifications to admin@belnorth.org.
Coaches Needed for Juniors & Senior Women
The club is volunteer-run, and coaches and managers are an essential cog in the machine.
If your child’s team needs a coach, don’t be scared to put your hand up to volunteer. Resources and courses are available to give you the tools to make training sessions a breeze. Co-coaching and assistant coaching are also encouraged, and it is highly desirable to have a manager.
