WITH the start of the 2020 MiniRoos and Community Junior season fast approaching, we are getting eager to get the new season under way and the Club is getting closer to securing training grounds so we can get the various squads up and running.
In the meantime, below is some important information about where we are at the current moment…
Communication
- General information that applies to all families will be communicated via email (mini-roos@hotmail.com)
- Team specific details (training, games etc) will be communicated via coaches or team managers at start of season (platform will be decided by individual teams, e.g. text, group chats, team app etc)
- Social media will be a big part of 2020 for NGWFC and all aspects of the club – so if you haven’t already, start following us on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter!
Teams and Coaches
We are close to finalising teams and have met with coaches this week to finalise all the details. Once coaches receive their team’s final contact details, we will ask them to make direct contact with families.
Training Grounds:
- As per 2019, our main training ground will be Hurst Reserve in Herne Hill (Douglass St) with 2 training sessions a week. Please note U7s might only train once a week.
- Training days, times and venue may vary between ages groups based on coaches’ availability.
- We officially get access from 1st April, however we are currently in talks with City of Greater Geelong to get access as early as March…. hopefully this will be confirmed early next week!
- Elcho Park is currently not available as a regular training ground for Mini-Roos/Juniors due to ground upgrades and use by Senior Men and Womens and NPL teams.
- We will host a welcome training session for all teams at Elcho Park in early March (date to confirmed)
