We reached our 2012 Junior/Youth Goal!
In 2010 we had 119 registrations and no under 10s team. Last year we set a goal of 200 and got to 199 (including our Auskickers). Missed it by that much! This year we set a goal of 220 and I am proud to announce that we have 224 Junior/Youth registered players – and – we haven’t included our Auskickers.. of which we had well over 40. So we have over 260 kids/teens running around Lowe Oval! A big thanks to Paul Simpson, Karen Pyke, Bronwen Keggen, Leanne Kennealy for all of their efforts in making this happen!
A moving ANZAC day
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."
The coaching group would like to get as many players and supporters/parents as we can to represent the club at the Anzac Day Parade at Springwood. We would like all that attend (players and parents) to wear the Springwood Pumas Polo shirt (and navy or black shorts / pants). When the ceremony is finished we will then go back to the club house and have a training / game and then finish off with a sausage sizzle.
Details:
Springwood Park, Cinderella Drive, Springwood, QLD 4127
25 April - service starts are 7:45 but suggest you get the half an hour early.
For more details please contact Tim Walton 0427 910 157.
First Aid Course – Special Members offer! (Saturday 28th April)
We are running first aid courses at the club this Saturday. All teams must ensure that they have a first aid offical. If you do not - your game cannot proceed. The cost for the first aid course is normally $150 but we are able to offer this to our members at $25.00. It’s first in best dressed and numbers are extremely limited. Also, there is ‘at home’ course work to be done and you’ll need to get going to finish the course work before Saturday’s course. Please email us at springwoodjuniors@afql.com.au to get signed up.
Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon – Sunday 29th April
The Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is on at our club grounds again this year. We’ll see 2,000+ kids swim, bike and run and give it a go. We are going to need volunteers to help on the day from 6am to 2pm. We will be looking to fill 4x2 hour time slots with at least 8 people on the day (that’s 32 people in total – at minimum). It’s a major fundraiser for our club .. please put up your hand to help out.
Seniors, we will need your sensational help again this year. As it is Youth grading games the day of the triathlon those volunteers are unavailable. A call to all the new Junior Parents – please help out – it won’t take too much of your day and you’ll meet some great new friends at the club. Also, bring your kids along they can play in the play room.
