SEASON LAUNCH

We would like to thank everyone who attended the Season Launch on Wednesday night. It was fantastic to see families, friends and staff down there supporting the boys as the 2013 TAC Cup season is about to begin. We hope that everyone had an enjoyable night and we look forward to seeing you throughout the year at games and other Dragons functions supporting the boys and the program.

PARENTS GROUP

All parents that are prepared to assist with functions, game days & training in any capacity are encouraged to contact Craig in the office to let him know that you are free to be followed up for support. Your assistance even if it is to help with some drinks or a meal at training will greatly enhance our ability to maintain the quality of the services to the boys.

DRAGONS TRAINING GEAR

It is our plan to hand out to all players the majority of the Dragons uniform and Training Jumper so we can not only look like a real team at training but also on game days over the course of next week. We apologise for the delay in getting this to you as we would have liked to give it all out on the launch night on Wednesday but we have had some supplier issues that have delayed this process by a week or so.

CHANGES TO TRAINING & GAME VENUES

Due to the late change in venue due to the playing surface issues at Trevor Barker Oval which are out of our control we have had to source the best available surface for both our U16 and TAC boys to play on. While the playing surface is terrific at Seaford and we are very grateful to the Saints to be able to utilise the venue, other infrastructure like warm up areas, seating and cover for spectators will be limited and all players and parents will have to be prepared for this and work with us to provide the safest and best solution to a really difficult problem to solve at short notice especially when most other high level facilities are already booked solid. I am sure all of the boys will take this in their stride and play well on the day despite the minor challenges we now face as a group. If anyone has further queries or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me to discuss.

Both Justin and I appreciate your understanding and any extra efforts made to provide the best we can for the boys.

Go Dragons!
