Welcome to Bali Geckos website
On any given Thursday, a dedicated group of Aussie Rules fanatics can be found honing their skills on the newly laid turf of the Canggu Club. Although training attendance is linked directly to swell conditions, the dedication shown by these select few on the track is second only to their commitment at the bar.
Formed in 1997 as a result of a challenge thrown down by a visiting opposition team, the Mighty Geckos have forged a strong reputation as the hardest team in Asia, on and off the oval. Several forays across the region have seen the Geckos trophy cabinet slowly fill with the spoils of victory.
In addition to tours, the Bali Geckos also host two events each year, the Bali 9s Masters in March and the Bali 9s in early October, marking the anniversary of the 2002 Bali bombing. With these events, and other fund raising initiatives, the Geckos support several charities on the island assisting under privileged children and victims of the bombings.
Members of the Mighty Geckos are a who’s who of Bali’s elite, counting among them some of the entrepreneurs, company executives and most eligible bachelors that call Bali home. Regular attendees at games and training sessions include Prime Ministers, AFL stars and Australian film and television celebrities.
Guests are always welcome, but be warned: training sessions can often run into the wee small hours of Friday morning. |
