Any one who hasn't played for the Jets before just come on down and and ask for either Boogie or Beno and they'll bring you up to speed.

If you're new to the sport or just curious about it feel free to come down and have a run and see how you like it. The club has plenty of club gear so there is no need for new players to purchase any gear upfront, all you need is a pair of boots and a mouth guard.
Gridiron is one of the few sports that has a position for everyone, from your big 140kg line men, to your fast 60kg running backs. People with a footy background slot in well as receivers with the marking ability, and your ex rugby players make great defensive players with the emphasis on tackling people.
For a basic overview of Gridiron click on the below link
If you are interested in purchasing your own gear the following sites have been used by players in the past and found to be good on price and service.
We have also been approached by the
Throwback Guy who offers NFL jerseys and other apparel, however we haven't had anyone actually purchase off this site so we can't comment on price or serivce.
As with any internet purchases however it is buyer beware and the club accepts no responsibility for any losses incurred by using these suppliers. If you do encounter any issues, or find some one better, please advise us at jetsgc@gmail.com so we either remove or add the supplier.
All players are also urged to watch the below 2 videos highlighting the importance of good tackling technical and the dramatic consequences for both the tacker and the person being tackled if they are not followed. This sort of injury has never occurred in Gridiron in WA and we want to keep it that way. Any questions talk to the coaches.

Training dates are yet to be set for the 2005 season, please send us your e-mail address , at jetsgc@gmail.com, so we can advise when details are at hand. Alternatively check back later.
