Joining Night League
The V&DABA is made up of teams from a number of community organizations, as well as several independent teams. Community organizations and independent teams are responsible for team formation. Once teams have been formed, they are registered in the V&DABA. Community organizations and/or coaches are responsible for attending the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Team Registration.
If your child has played in the Night League before, contact your coach or area representative to find out how to register. See the Contact Page to find out who your area representative is.
For general information about season length, practice and game times, age groups, and skill divisions, please browse the About The League section in the Contents on the left.
