Roos News May 2019

Welcome to Roos News!

What a great start to the season for The Roos. We are so very proud of how all our teams have performed in the first four rounds of the footy season.

A big welcome to our two new coaches this year, Josh Taylor (Under 6s) and Vinny Graham (Under 12s), they are not new to the Club but they are new to their roles. Thank you for stepping up and taking on these rewarding coaching positions.

Girls League Tag

It was a great day last Saturday at ‘Ferretville’ where our Under 13s girls side ran out to play their first ever game for our Club.

There was such enthusiasm from the girls before, during and after the game. Even though they did not come away with the win against the Cromer Kingfishers it was such a great afternoon, their excitement was infectious, we loved watching them play.

Their game this week is at Tunks Park from 2:15pm on Saturday, if you get a chance and want to support the girls please head down there to watch them take on the North Sydney Brothers.

Assistance on Game Day

Thank you to all the parents, carers and friends who help us on game day by volunteering their time to help with the canteen, BBQ and adhoc jobs. It is very much appreciated.

Keep an eye out before a home game as your team manager will send you a link to SignUp Genius to register if you are able to help out on these days.

Many hands make light work!

“I am PROUD to be a Roo…..”

Back in March we created a video which formed part of a competition run by North Sydney Junior Rugby League. It was all about being a PROUD Roo, if you missed it click here

The idea was to create as much engagement with this video across our social media channels as we could, basically we needed people to watch it, LIKE it, COMMENT and SHARE it. Well, the winner was announced last week……………..and WE WON!

Without boring you all too much with stats, overall we reached 33,987 people and had over 1000 reactions, comments and shares.

We will be in touch shortly (we are working out the finer details) on what we have won for the Club. We are very excited!

Mother’s Day THIS Thursday

A reminder to all mums that we are celebrating YOU this Thursday at training from 5pm to 6:30pm.

As always a big shout out to our sponsors, your generosity is much appreciated!

Go Roos!

Willoughby Roos Season 2019

Welcome to the Willoughby Roos 2019 season.

We are so happy to see you all again and we welcome all the new players and families to the Willoughby Roos family.

Training Times

Training is scheduled on Thursday nights from 5pm to 6pm/6:30pm.

Some age groups will have an extra training session on Tuesday nights from 6pm.

Please check with your coach or manager if your age group will have any extra training.

Please remember to bring your water bottle, mouth-guard and headgear to every training session and game day matches.

If wet weather causes the grounds to be closed, you will be notified by your managers as well as posted to the Willoughby Roos Facebook page by 3pm that day.

Home Games

We have been lucky this year to have received our schedule for our Home Games at Willoughby Park. This season we have 8 home game days. Unfortunately, we don’t get times for games until the week before or week of the games. So please look out for emails from the club, managers and Facebook for more information.

Home Game Schedule

Round 3 Sat 27th April

Round 6 Sat 18th May

Round 8 Sat 1st June

Round 10 Sat 22nd June

Round 12 Sat 6th July

Every home game day is an important event for the Willoughby Roos. The Roos committee ensure every event is set up and maintained for the enjoyment and safety for all.

We have a Canteen open from 8:30am. This year we have added EFTPOS facilities for your convenience, so you can buy your bacon and egg rolls, coffee and treats without worrying about cash.

Volunteers Needed

As you know the Willoughby Roos Club is run by volunteers and without your help, Home Game Days would not be possible.

All we ask of every team is 2-3 volunteers for 1 hour after the age group has played to help out with the BBQ and Canteen Duties.

This year the Roos will be incorporating a new system to allow parents and carers to easily volunteer on the SignUp Genius portal. This system will be emailed to every registered email at the beginning of the Home game week. Please look out for it!

Please note that there will be one committee member always there to make coffees and help out with Eftpos transactions and enquiries. So please Sign Up and help make every home game experience fun and enjoyable!

Lastly, we would like to thank you for choosing Willoughby Roos as your favourite Junior Footy Club.

We love our footy and LOVE seeing all the girls and boys having fun and making lifelong friendships.

Please show your support and like us on Facebook and Instagram so you can keep updated on all Roos events, photos and match results!

GO ROOS!
