The team draws on players from an area equivalent to that of the size of the state of Victoria. From communities of the Northern desert region such as Lajamanu in the West, and to the East, communities on the Gulf of Carpentaria such as Numbulwar and Ngukkur.
The team plays in the Under 18 competition only and proudly wears the colours and emblem of the Hawthorn Football Club as the Club is one of their major sponsors and a long time supporter of AFL in the Katherine region.
Hawthorn Football Club is proud to be a supporter of the Big River Hawks and encourages members and supporters to do the same.
