clear as mud atm, seems to be just social and juniors
Anyone setting up junior clubs, affiliated to a Prem club is doing Rugby in WA a great service. Regardless of the marketing strategies we need to bring more kids into the game, especially as so many junior mungo clubs are appearing with apparent NRL funding.
New ventures need support & positivity as the volunteers are a rare & priceless breed so need to commended for the work, we can't afford to whinge about it all ...
Rugby in WA will only succeed this year ... a year of little sponsorship, reduced funding, diminishing numbers ... if we support people who do something positive. From reading this forum for several years, I don't anyone has the right to claim moral high ground.
Satellite clubs have been around for ages, for bringing rugby to areas where they need it so it's a good thing.
RugbyWA need to get out to these place & support the coaches (volunteers) ensuring that courses are laid on & Smart Rugby is applied giving the youngsters the safest environment.
Baysie have setup a training ground in Ellenbrook for practical reasons and I don’t have a problem with it. Nedlands junior “feeder” club seems a bit more cynical and contrived. But I don’t think it’s something Wanneroo should moan about. If we lose juniors to them, so be it. Irrespectively, if it’s Nedlands hope that these NOR juniors will eventually play for Nedlands down at the foreshore when they come of age, then I think it’s a plan that will most likely fail.
Cheers pieter for the free advertisement but your view on junior rugby needs rethinking.junior rugby is about participation and enjoyment.these boundaries you talk about are made up in your own head. I invite you down to our toilet block @james cook oval on wednesday the 4th march to see what we are about.i have no illusions that most of these kids wont play senior rugby at neddies but if you look at all the successful junior clubs how many of these kids go on to play senior rugby.joondalup had to join up with wests colts to form a team last year.so instead of complaining like a little b____h every time some one does something positive for rugby in this state which is a minorities sport. Just maybe we can grow our sport to be more competitive against the traditional states.or would you just b more happy if all juniors playrd for your club.Originally Posted by pieter blackie
In a very bold move RugbyWA and the WAJRU has, (by supporting Nedlands and Bayswater Rugbyclub's decision to form satellite training venues) removed all traditional unwritten shire, town and suburb boundaries for all rugby clubs in the Metro area.
Any player Junior or senior can now register with the club he/she prefers to play for rather than the area he/she traditionally fell within so now is the time to join Wanneroo Rugby Club. Wanneroo Rugby Club is the Junior Club Champions 2013 and the friendliest Rugby Club in Perth.
Wanneroo, nickname The Roo Dogs, is Perth's most successful Northern Suburbs Rugby Union Club.
We play at Kingsway one of the biggest sporting complex in Perth and our club facilities are second to none.
We presently run at least five senior sides, U20's and U18's, Women's and a Golden Oldies side known as Ye Olde Dogs. Our championship winning junior section runs teams in all age groups.
We have members, players, and supporters of all nationalities and from countries around the globe.
Some of our players have gone on to represent their countries including Australia, New Zealand and England.
We run a very successful summer touch rugby competition and have WA champions sides.
We welcome new players and supporters to join us and experience the unique and wonderful lifestyle that Wanneroo and Western Australia has to offer both on and off the playing field.
We are grateful to our sponsors. Without their support life would be a lot harder.
Please contact any of our Junior or Senior committee members to find out more details by looking up Wanneroo Rugby Club website http://www.wanneroorugby.com.au/
or completing our contact form http://www.wanneroorugby.com.au/contact-form/
Be better advised to get on Male seeking Male web site for that kind of stuff.PM seven mile for contact details.
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
This is why the locals want neddies off the foreshore
There are other ways of soliciting players for the future than inviting them to a toilet block in the nth suburbs
What cubicle did you put gus in
I invite all clubs to contribute towards the cost of a promotional flyer for the Nedlands club inviting their prospective junior players "...down to our toilet block at James Cook oval".
Heck, I'd even contribute dollars myself.
that's a worry!
Nah Bally that is what Neddies seniors does It is all about dealing and wheeling with other clubs junior talent ....
Ah too play nieve but you dont have to dig too deep into your clubs own dirty secrets
How did everyone's junior rego day go. We had massive problems with the new rego system, parents lining up for hours to register little Johnny.
We had 5 volunteers working their arse off on laptops.
Not everyone is techno savvy at this stuff and all it did was cause frustration and confusion.
Senior rego is going to be one complete massive faaark up.
Volunteers working their arse off for hours on end but it's meant to be painless and easy to do.
Yeah right.
Hard to say at the JBROS at the moment as we have the 2nd half of the rego next Saturday. I know the U12s are on 51 boys at present but that doesn't count any newbies that might register on the 21st.
