The Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club are ready to launch into their 32nd year with hopes of achieving great results again in the 2017 season.
Last year was a great success for the Fins with the A Grade team undefeated premiership winners also awarded the Sunshine Coast Sports Awards 2016 team of the year.
The reserve grade also took home the premiership in what was a stellar year for the club.
Much-loved 2016 coach Brent Timms will be back along with his winning strategies to coordinate both the junior and senior coaching management for the 2017 season.
“I love what the Noosa club contributes to the wider community and the essence of our Dolphin spirit is all about enjoyment and mateship and being a valued member of a team. We seek to give our kids an opportunity to have fun in a supportive tight knit community environment,” Timms said.
The youngest Fins will be well looked after by a dynamic and dedicated team of committee members to ensure a smooth transition and bumper season of Dolphins’ excellence.
Junior president Rob Frey said the skills, knowledge and ability of our coaching and management teams will give the players a full, safe education of the game of rugby and instil life traits such as teamwork, leadership, mateship courage and loyalty.
“The pleasing history of our club is that our successful seniors come from our juniors ranks as evidenced by the majority of our grand final senior teams being made up of past junior players,” he said.
For 2017, the Dolphins will field a team in every division from Under 6 to seniors and the club will continue to seek opportunities for players to play representative rugby.
This year’s Junior sign up offers players a kit bag full of goodies including embroidered backpack, socks, game shorts and training jersey to name a few.
Mr Frey said the new kit bags are provided thanks to the Club’s loyal sponsors, who have helped keep fees the same as last year.
“This is due to strong financial management of our club and the success of our seniors by hosting finals at our club,” he said.
Anyone who would like to sign up for the 2017 Dolphins’ season can do so online with registration, kit bag collection and a warm welcome on offer on Friday 17 March and Friday 24 March from 4-6pm at the Dolphins’ home ground at Bicentennial Drive, Sunshine Beach.
The local rugby union pre-season kicks off on Saturday 1 March and the official season starts on Saturday 22 April.
