U8/U9 & U10/U11 Preseason Skills Programs
https://belnorth.com/psp/Belnorth, under the tutelage of Nick Walczak, will run two six-session Preseason Skills Programs (PSP) for the U10/U11 age groups in February and the U8/U9 age groups in April. The program will focus on the four core skills: Striking The Ball, First Touch, 1v1 and Running With The Ball.
The U10/U11 preseason program is an excellent opportunity to hone your skills before grading later in February. The U10/U11 program will be held from 3/2/2026 to 21/2/2026 at Giralang or Kaleen.
The U8/U9 Preseason Program details are yet to be confirmed.
The cost of each program is $80 and are accepting EOI for both programs prior to registration opening. EOI are essential.
Submission of an EOI does not guarantee an offer in the program. We will do our best to accommodate all submissions, but if there are more EOI than spots available in the program, preference will be given to those that intend to play at Belnorth in 2026 and also played at Belnorth in 2025.

Best time to get a piercing?
With no sight of organised football till February, now may be the ideal time for players to get piercings!
Why now?
Visible piercings are forbidden whilst playing football and taping them up is not acceptable.
So to avoid having to take out starter piercings when playing football in 2026, consider taking the plunge now during January to avoid any heartache during the season to allow the 6 or so weeks for the hole to heal. Being summer, also be mindful of any recommended restrictions on swimming.
