Registration is now available for the Winter season.
Apologies for the hiccup this year for anyone that experienced that – we had to have our packages formally approved by the Football Federation of Victoria for the first time this year, which was new to us and we didn’t anticipate the delay.
We look forward to seeing you at our Information Day if you’re new to the club or at trials starting this weekend for juniors!
Eltham Redbacks Evaluation Trials
Get Ready for Season 2013
Hello Redbacks
Please find enclosed a schedule of times for evaluation trials for season 2013. Players are advised to attend ALL trials – this will give you the best chance of being properly assessed and allocated the most appropriate “training squad”.
All prospective members should perform the following
Registration is very important. Once you are registered we know you are serious about playing for Eltham and we will find you a team. Attendance at evaluation is also very important – if we don’t see you play it is difficult to know which is the best team for you to play in.
Upon conclusion of the evaluation players will be allocated a “training” squad. Further assessment and “fine tuning” will occur before final teams are selected prior to the beginning of the season.
This is a massive administrative task for the club – please assist by registering online promptly and attending on time.
Best wishes for season 2013.

Well done to the large contingent of Redbacks playing in this high level summer representative team. The four Eltham Redback’s in the team were Zoe (back row – far left), Paige (back row – 4th from left), Mikayla (back row – 6th from left) and Chantelle (middle row – 3rd from right).
Well done girls!
