Reminder to Parents – Name Patches and Coles Badge.

📢 Quick Reminder for Parents

Please ensure your child is wearing their current 2025/26 season name patch.
Previous season patches will not work, as both the athlete registration number and barcode are season-specific and won’t scan in our current system.

👕 Uniform Reminder:
Athletes must wear their correct club uniform at all Centre meets, along with their current name patch.

👟 Trialling athletes should wear appropriate sportswear and footwear and must have a trialling patch – these can be collected from the Registrar when signing in.

Athletes not wearing name patches will not be permitted to compete.

If you have forgotten your patch or lost it, new patches can be bought for a gold coin donation from our registrar in the computer room in the grandstand. If you need a subsequent patch it will cost $5 per patch. Money collected for new patches is donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal at the end of the season.

Coles Badges
All athletes tops must have Coles Badge sewn (not pinned) to the top right hand corner of the top. If you child’s top does not have Coles badge on it please see your club to get one.

Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly! 🙌
