Dear Presidents of Junior Rugby Clubs,
The role of the RugbyWA Junior's Executive, as defined by our
Constitution and Strategic Plan, is in part to grow the game of Rugby Union
within Western Australia. As such, the Executive supports any initiatives by
clubs that promotes the game and provides opportunities for children to have
a positive experience with Rugby Union.
The issue of Clubs establishing training grounds at new venues was discussed
at the RugbyWA Junior's Executive committee meeting on Monday evening.
This Executive supports any initiative that contributes to the growth of our
game. Furthermore, Junior players are free to choose which club they join and
play for regardless of where they reside and are free to change clubs within
the guidelines set out in our competition rules.
The move by the Nedlands and Perth Bayswater Clubs to provide additional
training facilities at Hillary's and Ellenbrook respectively, is seen as a
positive approach to grow the game in Perth.
The Executive will monitor these moves and any other proposals over the
coming season to see how the initiative develops and the potential impacts
on the junior competition.
Kind Regards
Martin Becker
President
RugbyWA Juniors Executive
