Team Photo Sessions Times

Volunteers wanted for Team Photos

Belnorth requires volunteers to assist with photos on the 18/6 and 19/6 from 4 pm to 8:30 pm to coordinate teams to ensure sessions run smoothly.

If you can lend a hand as a volunteer even for part of this time, can you please let us know via admin@belnorth.org.

Parking outside the box at Kaleen

With only 259 parking spots via Birie and Turon Place, parking is at a premium at Kaleen. On-street parking is available, but please be respectful of local residents and park safely/legally.

Parking inspectors regularly patrol the vicinity of sports grounds to support safe parking. You can be fined for parking a vehicle:

  • On a footpath
  • On a nature strip or roadside verge
  • On the wrong side of the road and not in the direction of travel

A parking hack at Kaleen worth considering. Instead of looking for spots on or off Diamantina Cres, try parking on the other side of the stormwater drain along Wakool CctCampaspe CctFlorentine Cct or Tyrrell Cct.

Otherwise, consider carpooling or riding a bike to Kaleen.

Club Vested Officials

U12 teams and above need to provide a Club Vested Official (CVO) at each match, home and away. We also encourage U10-U11 teams to as well.

What is a Club Vested Official?

A CVO represents the club and is responsible for the actions of supporters from their club.

Essentially, they get to wear a cool vest, help ensure spectators behave themselves and foster respect.

Who can be a CVO?

  • A parent or another responsible spectator/supporter
  • Someone at least 18 years old
  • Can’t be a coach, manager, reserve player or assistant referee (linesperson) at the same time
  • Can be different people throughout the season
