Buzz around the junior Gremlins

It’s not footy season yet; not even pre season really, but there is a buzz in the air as the Stanthorpe Junior Rugby League prepare for the 2012 season. Coaches for the upcoming season have been announced as well as training times for each grade. The first official sign on day is Saturday, February 11, at the Piazza from 9am to 12pm. Players will also be able to sign on at the Gremlins Clubhouse Sullivan Oval from 5pm to 6pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings when training gets under way (beginning February 7 and continuing until the start of the season).
All new players will receive a club polo shirt and the added bonus of a new Steeden Rugby League Ball prior to the season starting.
The under 16s will be looking to go one better this season after making the grand final last season. This year they look to have a strong nucleus with many of their grand final team back for another go at the premiership. This season the Under 11s will compete in a grand final series. Under 11s Super Coach Wayne Chapmen has been working with this group since under 7’s and he is hoping players will be back this year to improve their rugby league skills with their mates.
Coaches of the Under 16s, 14s and 13s have to select a few players to travel to Goondiwindi on Sunday, March 25, for the Warwick & District Representative Team trials. They will be keeping a keen eye on players at training between now and then.
