Help needed.
The game can't function without coaches, managers and refs. Do your bit for your kids and step up and do something to make it all happen. You'll find it a really rewarding experience. The club also needs grade co-ordinators for the 8th and 10 grades. Please get in touch with Garry or Salena if you can fill these roles. There is plenty of support for all positions and formal courses for refs and coaches. New members should note that teams must provide their own coaches and refs....someones got to do it - why not you?
Equipment notes:
All players MUST wear shin pads. Players will not be permitted to play without them.
Grades 5/6 will continue to play in sandshoes, with small goals. Again this year, Grade 7 Mini-soccer players should wear football boots, as we shall be playing with larger goals, and with goalkeepers. All older grades will play in football boots (pimpled soles, blades or studs). In addition to appropriate footwear, all grades need:
Royal blue knee length socks, shin pads and royal blue shorts. Blue Rovers will supply team shirts.
Shorts & Socks Brand names are as follows:
“Lotto Approach” shorts (Junior size cost $30 & Senior size cost $35)
“Fenix” socks (cost $15 no discount)
These are available from Wright Sports who will supply all necessary gear and equipment at a 15% discounted price to club members. Please take the Wrightsports Voucher on the website. It would also be beneficial for players to have their own football. The more time players spend kicking a ball, the better they will become. The club will of course supply balls for team training sessions but if you intend to buy one for your player note the following.
Grades 5 – 8: size 3
Grades 9 – 13: size 4
RETURN OF GEAR & EQUIPMENT
We urgently require the return of any team strips, gear and equipment. Please bring to registration with you or phone our gear officer Dave Molloy 571 0790 to arrange returning them.
