How to Register:
In February and March, we will process almost 1400 player registrations and sort all players into 110 teams ready for the season kick-off. It is a mammoth task, and we try our best to accommodate all requests.
Here’s how the registration process will work:
Step 1: Expression of Interest
From January 6th, 2025 to February 9th, 2025, we will open ONLINE expressions of interest for the MiniRoos 6–8-year-old 2025 season. This helps us sort teams early.
You may submit an expression of interest for:
- a full team complete with coach and manager
- an individual player for us to allocate to a team – You can include the names of a couple of friends they would like to be in a team with, and list your child’s school. We will try our best to place children in a team with other children they know but we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
Expressions of interest can be submitted online or you can attend on of our Sign-On Days at the Bulimba Memorial Park Clubhouse:
- Saturday 1st February, 2025 from 8am to 12pm
- Saturday 8th February, 2025 from 8am to 12pm
Step 2: Team Formation
Between February 10th, 2025 to February 21st, 2025, Southside Eagles staff will sort players into teams based on Expressions of Interest. Please be patient while we complete this mammoth task 😊
Step 3: Player Registration
By February 21st, 2025 we will announce all complete teams. We will email all parents/guardians the name of the team they have been allocated to, the names of all the players allocated to that team, and the names and contact details of the nominated parent/guardian so you can start to make contact with each other.
You will then be asked to formally register and pay registration fees through the Squadi platform. Squadi is Football Queensland’s official registration platform. Please note that you should not register in Squadi until your team is finalised as there is a no refund policy.
Step 4: Attend Muster Day
On Sunday March 9, we invite all players and their families to come down to Memorial Park for Muster Day. This is an opportunity to meet your team, kick a ball around and pick up your playing kit and equipment.
Step 5: Start Playing!
Pre-Season games Saturday 22nd March and Saturday 29th March.
Official season games Saturday 26th April to Saturday 13th September.
