Senior, U16 & U18 Kit Return

For Senior, U16 & U18 teams that didn’t make finals, teams can return kits to the Kaleen Hub this Saturday morning between 9 am and 11 am.

  • When: 9 am to 11 am Saturday 29/8
  • Where: Central Hub, Kaleen Playing Fields
  • What: jerseys, balls, bibs, cones, domes, gloves, team bag, training/toilet keys, any other items.

We ask that coaches/managers launder jerseys, before the kit return. Jersey garment care advice can be found here. There is a Kit Return Form that we request team representatives fill out prior their kit drop off to assist with counting kit items and reporting any missing items. This will help immensely with the off-season stocktake.

The photos will be available Saturday from the Central Hub at Kaleen on Junior game day.

We ask that team coaches, managers, or representatives pick up photos on the team’s behalf to distribute to those that ordered items. Individual photo orders will not be handed out, they must be collected as a team. Collectors will be asked to sign for photos.
