Bulahdelah Bullets seek players as teams risk missing out

THE Bulahdelah Bullets Soccer Club is urgently seeking more players to fill teams for the 2026 season.

In a statement to social media, club officials said that “numbers are tight”.

“Without a few more registrations, we may not be able to field standalone teams in the upcoming season… and we’d hate for our local kids to miss the chance to play.”

Bullets President Ashley Ray said the club has worked hard to keep registration costs low.

“Our goal is participation,” she said.

“We want every child who wants to play to have that opportunity.

“Our focus is on the kids. Soccer should be accessible, especially in a small community like ours.”

Ms Ray said the club performs a key community-building function in the Bulahdelah area.

“People often say it takes a village to raise a child,” she said.

“That’s exactly how we see our soccer club.

“A town is nothing without its community and a sporting club is no different.

“When families, volunteers, and players come together, that’s where growth happens.”

Ms Ray said no previous playing experience is required to sign up, only “enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and community spirit”.

Registrations are now open online through PlayFootball, with families encouraged to sign up as soon as possible to help the club finalise team numbers.

Registration details can be found at playfootball.com.au/register, and the club welcomes enquiries from anyone interested in getting involved, whether as a player, volunteer, or supporter.
