Sunshine Coast Regional Council took possession of the Palmwoods Warriors Football Club on 31st October to start the long-awaited renovation of the clubhouse. Funding has been provided by Cr Winston Johnson and Rob Skelton Member for Nicklin to improve amenities, landscape and shade for our spectators. Renovations have been taking place over the Christmas break and should be ready for the start of season.
Come & Try Days are every Tuesday 4pm to 5.30pm and Wednesday 4.30pm to 5.30pm throughout February with volunteer committee members making themselves available to have a chat with parents/carers while the kids get to have some fun and begin their life-long love of Football. Merchandise can be purchased on the 18th February (Muster day) between 3 pm and 5 pm where the players will also get to meet their teams.
Our season starts on Friday Night 3rd of March at 6.30pm for our senior teams and Saturday March 4 8.30am for our junior teams. On the 25th February we will host our Palmwoods vs Palmwoods day debuting our new playing kits with thanks to Heritage Bank Palmwoods. Our association in the lead up to the FIFA Women’s ‘Beyond Greatness’ World Cup Aus/NZ is excited to announce an U8 girls only fixture this year. Palmwoods has a very strong female participation and some very experienced and passionate female coaches.
Palmwoods Warriors Football Club will also host the ‘Clean Up Palmwoods Day’ organised by Martinuzzi Property Group. This is a fun day with lots of prizes to be won.

Nambour Crushers Junior Rugby League
Nambour Crushers Junior Rugby League held a sign on day at the Crusher Park fields on Sunday January 29.
But President Leith Hensley said there was still plenty of time for families to register to play in in teams from under 6s to under 17s, in addition to the senior grades.
“If you’ve got a little one who loves footy but is scared of being tackled our under 6 and 7 teams play League Tag, which is a no-tackle version of the game,” he said. “The kids focus on other skills such as stepping, chasing, looking for gaps and looking ahead of the play rather than how they were going to tackle.
“Rugby league is a great game for fitness, for making friends and for building character there are many benefits of playing the game. The friendships you make you will have for the rest of your life.”
Nambour Juniors are looking for boys and girls from under 6 to under 12 teams; boys for under 13- under 17 and girls for under 13, under 15 and under 17 teams.
