Hi to the whole WPH family,
The start of the 2019 footy season is fast approaching and it is promising to be a big year for the WPH’s. There has been plenty going on behind the scenes this off-season. Probably the biggest being the completion of our new rooms!! They look fantastic, the cricket club has taken possession of them for the remainder of their season then we take over during March.
We have our rego/open day coming up on Sunday morning 3rd March from 9am till 12pm (LOCK THE DATE IN). The rooms will be opened up for all to see. So come along, have a look and see what’s happening for the upcoming 2019 season. There will also be mouthguard fitting on the day for all those who have out grown their mouthguards from previous seasons or for those looking for their first. The new car-park gets underway this week which will go further around to just short of the scoreboard then the existing carpark will be upgraded after that. All to be completed in the next 4-5 weeks. You will also notice brand new coaches boxes installed on the scoreboard side of the ground, the existing ones will be removed.
This year we will be moving on from Lum reserve and playing all our overflow games at Wellington reserve on Mackie Rd Mulgrave. This ground is very large, will have no issues with residents and has much larger changeroom facilities with recently upgraded facilities including a brand new kitchen/canteen area. We are getting brand new coaches boxes installed here also which will be installed shortly. Training will be at both Columbia and Wellington throughout the year.
The football operations team, headed up by Nick Thompson again this year, has been busy getting everything in place for the exciting year ahead. Most of your coaches for this year will contacting you shortly, if not already, to go thru details for your respective teams including pre-season training etc. Look out for this either via email or via the club team app which should be downloaded onto your phone so you can be directly informed of any news/info regarding the club. If you have any questions re your son or daughter for the upcoming season, please don’t hesitate to contact Nick or your respective coach of your team. If you haven’t registered your son or daughter’s yet please try to register asap so we can confirm numbers for each team. Once again sponsored training tops will be distributed to every registered player for 2019!!
It’s going to be a great year to be part of the mighty Waverley Park Hawks, so get on-board and be a part of your son or daughter’s AFL footy experience. As always we will be needing volunteers to help out in many roles, so please if you can give a few hours of your time on gameday or at club level, give your team manager/coach, someone at committee level or myself a call and let us know.
On behalf of the WPH committee, I look forward to catching up with everyone during the 2019 season and watching our boy’s and girl’s getting a kick and enjoying playing our great game of AFL footy!!
Go Hawks!!!
