Our Year 7/8 to 11/12 teams train at Lemnos Turf in Shenton Park.  Year 7/8 games are played on Saturday mornings, Year 9/10 games are played on Sundays and Year 11/12 games are played on Friday nights.

CARNIVALS

SAVE THE DATE - Our YMCC Junior Carnival is locked in for Sunday 19th April.  This event a great day for newly formed teams to have a fun start to the season.

YMCC has a great tradition of sending teams from Years 5/6 to 9/10 to both the Bunbuny Carnival (June Long Weekend) and Narrogin Carnival (last weekend of July school holidays).  This involves parental involvement to assist the club with our teams and organisation and are both fun weekends of competition and mateship.

GRADING SCHEDULE FOR 2026

YMCC runs a comprehensive grading process to ensure our players and teams will receive the best playing opportunity and experience for all.  Grading consists of skills and game play sessions.  Along with the any insights from prior year coaching, the assessments from the grading process are used to determine team compositions.  We request all players and parents to support the club in this process and ensure their children attend all sessions ready to participate to the best of their ability to ensure the process is fair and equitable.
