The mini-mod sign-on held this morning was a great success and we look forward to getting back to everyone shortly with their allocated team and coach information.  For most teams training will commence on Wednesday 14th March at 4:30pm at St Brendans oval, with the competition to commence Sunday 22nd April.

Thank you so much to the parents and friends who helped out manning the tables and talking to all the new players and their families this morning - your assistance, as always, is greatly appreciated!

If you were unable to make the sign-on today and your child would like to play rubgy league, please be sure to contact us as soon as possible to let us know!

All members, parents and supporters who would like to help out in a coaching role for the 2012 season, please note the following course dates for Club Coach (you must be over 18yo and will be able to coach U6 to Seniors) and Modified Games Coach (you must be over 16yo and will be able to coach mini-mod levels U6 to U12).

If you are interested and able to attend one of these courses, please contact Matt or Steph or simply complete the attached form and email to yeppoonjrl@hotmail.com or  post to PO Box 286, Yeppoon.  The Club will pay the registration fee for your attendance.

Okay, so you don't want to be the Coach... perhaps helping your team with first aid, strapping, running the water or the kicking tees is more your style?  Unless you are First Aid or League Safe accredited, you cannot set foot on the playing field!  You only need to be 14+ to undertake the League safe or Strapping courses and 16+ for the First Aid so why not give it a go?  Please consider the following course dates...

Again, if you are interested and able to attend one of these dates, please contact Matt, Steph or Toni or simply complete the attached form and email to yeppoonjrl@hotmail.com or post back to PO Box 286, Yeppoon.  The club will take responsibility for the registration fees for your attendance at the course.

Well, it was a long, tiring weekend but one thoroughly enjoyed by the team of 15 Under 9 boys who represented our club at the Paul Bowman Challenge held in Proserpine on the 17th and 18th September.

The team equipped themselves well and were a credit to themselves, their parents and their club over the course of their first footy trip away.  The team came away with wins in three of their six matches.  Well done Yeppoon Seagulls Under 9s!

Thank you also to all the players, parents and supporters who helped us in our fundraising efforts to get the boys to the Carnival.

Everyone is on cloud nine after the u/12 Yeppoon Seagulls show of talent in making the semi finals for the recent Jason Hetherington Cup carnival held in Gladstone. The competition was hot and the u/12 Yeppoon Seagulls stood the test winning four of their five games on the Friday and two of the four games on Saturday to secure their position in the finals on Sunday . The boys battled their way to the top , winning their first game against Mackay Devils and then a close nail-biting game kept the crowd cheering as they won against  Rochedale Tigers, which gave them a spot in the semi-final. The boys knew that it was going to be a tough game against the Noosa Pirates, but they held their heads high and gave it their all, unfortunately they didn't win, but that's footy. There were 20 teams and they made it to top 4. A big thank-you must go to the u/12 Coach, Jason Field for getting the team there!

If you volunteer in any capacity with the Club, please note that you are required to have a Working with Children (Blue Card) clearance.

Congratulations also go out to the Under 10s and 11s who participated in the Laurie Spina Carnival at Townsville on the weekend.  The team won four of their six matches.  Well done boys!

There are some pics from the Under 14 and Under 15 games in the gallery now for your viewing pleasure.  Unfortunately, we were unable to get to the Under 13 and 18 games, so we will have to wait for the professional pics to come through for them (unless anyone out there has any to share with us?  If so please email them through and we will get them up for all to see).
