Small Dog Playgroup

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.

Welcome to our little badminton crew! 🏸 We’re a small non-profit community group who simply love playing badminton, staying active, and bringing people together. Everyone here volunteers their time, and any small fees just go towards court hire and shuttlecocks so we can keep the games going for everyone. All skill levels are welcome — whether you’re a beginner or have played for years. It’s all about good vibes, friendly rallies, and meeting new people who enjoy the sport. Come join us and let’s play! 🙌 Fee includes shuttlecocks and court hire. Racket hire: $2 each if you don’t have one.

Take your doggos out for an afternoon of fun, socialising, and exploring as we wander down Johnston Street together. We’ll be making our way through some of Collingwood’s dog-friendly spots – from a stylish rooftop bar, to an Art Deco-inspired gem, and finally a warm, nostalgic tavern.

Ticketed event only, please book your tickets early at https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/collingwood-puppy-pub-crawl-tickets-155644194977?aff=oddtdtcreator 1st Stop – Runner Up Rooftop Bar Perched above the iconic Collingwood Yards, Runner Up Rooftop Bar offers 270-degree views across Melbourne’s inner north. With its laidback, open-air vibe, this breezy rooftop is the perfect place to kick off the crawl. Behind the bar, expect sophisticated cocktails crafted with flair, a vibrant mix of red, white and orange wines, plus a thoughtful selection of spirits, each bringing unique depth and character. To make things even better, Chappy chips and dolmades will be served for human attendees – the ideal bite to pair with your first drink as the pups get ready for an afternoon of adventure. 2nd Stop – Night Hawks bar Our next stop takes us to Night Hawks, a chic Art Deco-lite fit-out bar with cool, easy-going vibes.

Friendly game of five a side indoor football (soccer). Indoor trainers/boots. No studs. Played on timber floor. Bibs will be supplied. Game Rules: Kick ins from the side. Goal keeper must throw the ball out when the ball goes behind. No slide tackles. After each goal a spot kick is taken and the opposing team must stand behind the white line (you'll understand when you get there). Keeper rotates every 6 minutes. If you need to pull out of the game for any reason, please RSVP no and then message the event so that another can potentially fill your spot. Please note that you should do this at least 48 hours (the sooner the better) before the game to allow the chance for someone to take your spot. If we are unable to fill the spot then I will not be able to refund you. Thank you.
