Welcome to Roos News
Come & Try Day
We were very impressed to see so many people at our Come & Try Day yesterday – a wonderful mix of current Roos players and potential players.
A lot of planning goes into these days and we appreciate all the help and support we received from our coaches, managers and volunteers.
The feedback coming through from families has been so positive which has gone to show that our hard-work has paid off. We will be having another Come & Try day on 7 March 11am to 1pm @Willoughby Park #2.
If you have friends or family that cannot wait that long until our next Come & Try day, please bring them down to pre-season training (further information below!). We will run through some drills and let them know what Junior Rugby League is all about!
Registrations
We have had a steady stream of registrations coming through which is pleasing to see.

New players keep an eye out for a WELCOME CALL or SMS from our President Tony Bellia just to say a BIG THANKYOU for joining the Roos family. Tony is also ensuring new players are kitted up before training commences so keep an eye out as u6s to u9s have slowly been receiving their cap, training shirts and training shorts.
Important Dates
Training Commencement – Thursday 4th March
Season commencement – First game 17 April (Under 6s to Under 11s), 1st May (Under 12s +)
Pre-season Training
Our pre-season training on a Tuesday and Thursday has really been popular with players and parents alike! It has been great to see so many kids and their parents at the park getting fit, with running, sit ups and those burpees!
Coach David has been running some great sessions with a mix of fitness, ball skills and touch footy! We will introduce a new trainer to the mix next week so WATCH THIS SPACE!
There is a small change to the training schedule for pre-season training – TUESDAYS will remain at WILLOUGHBY OVAL #2 from 6PM.
THURSDAYS due to the increased numbers and activity already occurring at the oval we are MOVING it to CASTLE COVE OVAL (Holly Street Castle Cove). This is a lovely BIG oval, lots of space, very green and only 5 minutes up the road from Willoughby Park!
