COMMUNITY & NATIONAL LEAGUES

Two competitive routes for players ready to represent Topcats. Compare the formats, selection and commitment before choosing your next step.

Compare the routes

One badge. Two levels.

Both routes are for full members selected through club sessions or trials. The difference is how and where fixtures are played, and the level of commitment each route asks from players and families.

Selection & membership

Earn the opportunity.

Competitive places are not automatic. Coaches assess players through regular club sessions and annual trials, considering readiness, development and the needs of each squad.

Players selected for either league must be full Brixton Topcats members. Exact squad details and current training expectations are confirmed directly by the club.
