Following on from our previous post on the 29th January organising an alternative venue for our club to use while our grounds are being upgraded was never going to be easy and has been a fairly exhausting experience for those involved. However, we now have some surety and from Monday 11th February, we have the use of our original 2004 rugby pitch at the VU / Wyndham Sports Complex, Hoppers Lane, Hoppers Crossing. Our times will be 5:30pm to 8:00pm with only ourselves occupying the pitch on those nights. Attached is a map of the complex with entrance being at Gate 5 in Hoppers Lane. As we do before the start of every season, we will hold a coach/manager meeting later this month (February) once all grades commence as this will give us a far better idea of numbers and how to best utilise the space available to us. It will also allow all coaches to discuss as a group training times, usage, etc. We will be at the complex from 5:30pm to meet those who are starting pre season training and discuss access, etc in more detail.
Storage is currently being organised so at this early stage of pre-season there will be no tackle or bump bags available for use until the storage is made available. There are toilets and change rooms available for our use also. At this stage we understand that the U/13’s, under 16’s and possibly the 12’s are starting from Monday 11th February. We have confirmed coaches for our U/10’s, 11’s,12’s,13’s, 14’s and 16’s(we think, lol) at this stage. We will post contact details in another post. There will be a flow of information regarding registrations, meet and greet dates ,etc over the next week as your club obtains more information but please if you have any queries feel free to message us direct. Our club is officially open for business and looks forward to yet another challenging year and the continued support of team management, players and parents in making this season a successful one both on and off the field. “GO THE RHINOS”!
