2027 Wildcats & North Shore Swans Training

We’re looking forward to welcoming players back for another exciting season of football.

Our training programs cater for players across junior and youth football, with age-appropriate opportunities to develop skills, fitness, teamwork and confidence. Official team training commences the week beginning 1 March 2027.

Preseason Training Dates will be shared shortly for North Shore Alliance Players (December – January)

Important Ground Update – Beauchamp Park

Beauchamp Park is scheduled to be temporarily unavailable during the early part of the 2027 season due to
council works.
During this period, our younger age groups will train at Gore Hill Oval, with arrangements to transition back to
Beauchamp Park once it reopens.
The closure is currently expected to run through May 2027, subject to council confirmation.
