The season begins in Term 4, where teams will play trial matches against a mix of AAGPS, ISA, and CAS teams, including 3 rounds of Raschke Cup/Yeend Shield, where a pre-season winner will be crowned.
Term 1 begins the competition games where schools play each other every Saturday, 10am for 2nd V and 11:15am for 1st V. If a team is able to win 7 games they will be crowned Undefeated Champions and earn the outright AAGPS title. [4]
