Getting involved with the Bulldogs is easy, come and join a session (no prior experience required) at any time, or keep an eye out for one of our regular social gatherings.

2026 Spring league

This Spring league squarely targets introducing new folks to Australian Rules football, without the contact and travel requirements of the Atlantic league. It’s designed to be fun, welcoming and beginner friendly – you don’t have to be Australian!

It’s non-contact, mixed gender and perfect for all skill levels. We’ll teach the rules of the game along with the skills needed, and you’ll get a great workout along the way.

The league will run on Wednesday evenings from April 22 to June 10. The first four sessions will be indoors at the Irving Oil Field House, transitioning to outdoors at Forest Hills School starting May 20. Check our website or Instagram for times
