The Roos are keen for our teams to keep fit and have fun together over the summer via the Touch or 7s competitions available in the Manly area.
As an incentive for that, the Club will pay 20% of the rego fees for any team with at least 50% of their squad from a Roos family and that registers as a Roos team (ie 50% are either current registered Roos player or the brother or sister of one.)
We will also work with Council to continue to use Keirle Park (outside cricket obligations), for touch training for the Roos squads, and explore what other affordable assistance we can offer.
The MWTA Friday night comp at Nolans has been popular and has limited the teams this year (see their note below). “Registrations open on Monday, 20th July 2015, with Early Bird rates available until Sunday 9th August. All registrations close midnight Sunday 16th August. But don’t wait until then, because if your age group fills up, unfortunately your team might miss out on playing this year: see www.manlytouch.com.”
So get in early and register a team through their website, or find another suitable comp. If you do, send your registration receipt and list of Roos players to treasurer(at)roosrugby.com.au (Ciaran Gray) for your 20% refund, cc registrar(at)roosrugby.com.au (Eric Downs), Angela.lyons8(at)bigpond.com, president(at)roosrugby.com.au (Josh Dowse).
FROM MANLY TOUCH
Hello Junior Touch Team Manager,
Registrations will be opening soon for our upcoming Junior Touch Football competition. Since your team was registered last year, we wanted to remind you to get in early for this year’s registration. For the first time ever, we have to limit the number of teams in our junior competition, due to the overwhelming demand compared to the field space we have available.
Registrations open on Monday, 20th July 2015, with Early Bird rates available until Sunday 9th August. All registrations close midnight Sunday 16th August. But don’t wait until then, because if your age group fills up, unfortunately your team might miss out on playing this year.
For all the details, please head to our website, www.manlytouch.com and read the Rego Information Pack, found both on the home page as well as under Junior Online Registrations. Then get your team together and be ready to register as soon as registration opens on the 20th.
New this season is also a post-Christmas junior comp starting late January and running until late March, an option if your team is having so much fun they want to continue playing touch in the New Year. More details to come.
Kind Regards,
Jill Zochling
Admin Manager, MWTA
