Beyond the Boundary Newsletter – Season 2025 is Here!
What an off-season it’s been, and we’re back for another huge year of footy and netball! Beyond the Boundary is here to keep you in the loop with the latest programs, initiatives, resources, and grants to help your club thrive.
This year, we’ve freshened things up based on your feedback, and we’re excited to share more big news in the coming weeks about an expansion of BTB—stay tuned!
Clubs Off to a Strong Start
Clubs have hit the ground running, with Youth and Senior registrations up 12% year-to-date, while junior registrations are tracking slightly ahead of this time last year. That said, there’s still plenty of work to do before the season kicks off, with some clubs still looking to boost their numbers.
We encourage clubs to open registrations & promote locally and across your socials!
