Welcome to Roos News

Welcome to the August edition of Roos News.

What a way to end the season with an abandonment.  We as a Club started so strong with an increase in registrations when compared to 2020, among those a huge increase in girls who had joined the Roos.   We had 3 under 6s teams, we would be fielding 4 girls teams, plus we had an under 14s boys side which we hadn’t had for a while, so it was set to be a great season.  Though in saying that we should be thankful for the games we were able to play and the success of our teams.

We are still waiting for some of the final details from NSWRL, particularly in regard to competition standings namely premierships and minor premierships, the teams affected are from Under 9s and above.  A decision should be made within the next week.

Parent Function

We know many of you were dusting of your dancing shoes and getting ready for the event of the year on Saturday 14 August.  We will look at having an event in December or January, depending on restrictions, to say goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022.

Volunteer Bond

Included in the cost of registrations this year was the “Volunteer Bond”, we did state that if a person completed 3 volunteers slots over the course of the season they would receive a refund of that bond.  It has been decided that this would be amended to ONE slot, so we will be sending emails to all those that volunteered over the season about how they can get their refund.   The email will be sent out in the coming days.

Presentation Day

How a presentation day will look for 2021 is still up in the air until the lockdown is over and we look at where restrictions are later in the year.  Rest assured all players will still receive their trophies and 50, 100 game medals when we work out how we can do this in a Covid Safe way.

Pre-season Training

When restrictions allow we will commence pre-season training, even if it is this side of the new year.  It may take a different format to previous years, with smaller groups and varying times, however we will do all we can to get the kids (and adults) back out moving again.

Over 35s Competition

It was a shame after all the work that had gone into setting up this competition that it did not proceed, we will be in touch with those who registered to play to give them options regarding next season.

If you have any questions please contact any one of our committee members or drop an email to willoughbyroos@gmail.com.

Go ROOS!
