Club Administrator Steve Micallef speaks to the WRFL about how the Cobras are tracking ahead of their 2014 campaign.
Number of teams this year:
2 x senior sides
4 x junior teams including under 10s, under-12s, under-14s and under-16s.
Pre-season News:
The preseason for the senior teams has been intensive with significant focus on fitness levels.
Our co-coaches John Thrush and Adam Borg have had a solid core group of players committed to training from the outset in November and our player numbers are steadily increasing.
Our junior sides commenced training in February and we have been delighted with the number of players attending these initial training sessions. We have re-introduced under-10s this year – returning us to four junior sides - a significant step in the rebuilding of the club as we were down to only two teams a couple of seasons ago.
We will also be commencing our second season of Auskick this year. Last year’s initial season was extremely successful with a fantastic group of young boys and girls participating. Already this year we have received excellent early registration numbers and we are hoping for even more young aspiring footballers to join us.
This year our Auskick will be run on Friday evenings – the same day as the junior teams train. Albanvale is committed to ensuring Friday is family evenings – returning to the club root values – to be a Family Club!
Expectations for 2014:
Our aspirations are measured – we understand we are in a rebuilding phase and are
taking a ‘steady as she goes’ approach. We are committed to having as many young
boys, girls and families enjoy and be a part of the club - and to continue on the path
of reinforcing the solid work on-and-off the field in the past few seasons.
Staff/coaching changes:
John Thrush assumes the Senior Coaching role this season. Our junior coaching
ranks are very stable and we are delighted to have reappointed all junior coaches
from last season.
Contact the club:
Albanvale also has many roles and tasks within the club that we would be happy to hear from anybody who is interested in volunteering their time to support their local community. In particular we areinterested in hearing from anyone who is either already an accredited trainer – or interested in
becoming an accredited trainer.
