RUGBY STARTS IN FEBRUARY!
02/02/2024
Happy New Season everyone. I trust Santa was kind in the off-season and you’ve spent the downtime getting into peak fitness for the season ahead. Doesn’t matter if you haven’t as we’ll get you there in an orderly fashion.
Pre-season
Pre-season kicks off on 7 Feb at 6.30 pm at Roseville Chase Oval with some touch footy followed by a free BBQ. Bring a water bottle and a friend or colleague – seniors, Colts or women. No experience necessary as we will have coaches available from the first training to teach the basic skills to people who are new to the game, or have little experience.
Coaching
We have a number of coaches already signed up but we need more. Anyone interested in helping to coach the Senior Men then let me know at president@brothersrugby.com.au
Bunnings
Our first opportunity to fundraise and recruit for the year is at Bunnings Chatswood on 10 February. We need to cook, sell, and recruit the whole day so it will be a club effort. We need 4-5 people per shift at the following times (those shifts in bold still need filling). So get a group together or email me individually if you can help and I’ll put you down for a shift (president@brothersrugby.com.
- 0730-1000 (filled)
- 1000-1230
- 1230-1500
- 1500-1630
Uni Recruitment
Still looking for (paid) volunteers from amongst the Colts fraternity (or recent Colts who still look youthful) to man a stand at O Week and recruit for the club. Two people per gig (ideally male & female but two males are ok) with guidance and material provided. The ACU Strathfield/Campion sessions are probably best done by the same team as it is logistically easier. All aspiring recruiters send names, contact details, and location preference, to me at president@brothersrugby.
- 13 February 11 am – 2 pm Notre Dame Sydney (filled)
- 21 February 10 am – 2 pm ACU Strathfield
- 21 February 2 – 4 pm: Campion College Toongabbie
- 22 February 10 am- 2 pm ACU North Sydney
We’ll keep these updates coming more regularly as the pre-season gets underway and we have a better idea of competition draws, dates, playing numbers and dates for social events. So keep an eye out for the updates, ask anyone you come into contact with if they want to play rugby for Brothers, and sign up to our Instagram/X (Twitter) and Facebook accounts – 2024 is the first year of our three-year recovery plan so you don’t want to miss out on being part of the pathway back.
