Games

Junior age groups including U/8, U/9, U/10, U/11, U/12, U/14A, U/14B, U/15 Girls, U/16 will play on Sundays through-out the season with no games scheduled during school holidays. Auskick and Superstars will play on Friday night commencing in March and May respectively. The U/18 Girls and U/18 Colts will be scheduled on Wednesday night.

Pathways

The Cairns Saints Juniors also provide a pathway for the AFL Cape York Eagle boys to ensure that they can be involved competition football as soon as they come to Cairns. This has resulted in boys that have stayed in Cairns at the completion of their studies, playing for the Cairns Saints Seniors.
