Help Needed: Players and Coach Required to Keep Our Team Going

Dear Club Members,
We are reaching out with an urgent appeal for your help. Our Subbie Maroon's junior team is currently down to just 8 players after a last-minute withdrawal, and we now require 2 additional players to field a team. Without these extra players, our team will not be able to participate this season, and we don't want to let down the 8 committed kids who are eager to play. If you know of someone- be it a young brother or sister, a friend from school, a cousin, or a neighbour---who would like to get involved, please get them to contact Shay Wade on 0422 516 380 ASAP

Additionally, we desperately need a coach for this team Despite our efforts to find someone, we're now calling on the club community for support. If you, or someone you know would like to get involved, now is the time to step up and make a real difference.

Nominations are due in today to DALE for the junior and subbie teams, and we are at a critical point. Teams like this only exist thanks to volunteers and the combined efforts of everyone in our club. We're asking all members to pull together, spread the word, and help us fill these vital spots.

2 players needed: No experience necessary, just a willingness to give it a go!
• Coach required: Support and guidance will be provided by the club.

If you can help, or know someone who can, please contact us as soon as possible. Let's give these kids the chance to play and show them the spirit of our club,

👏 A final huge shoutout to everyone who made this season so special 🧡🖤

To all of our players, volunteers, and spectators – thank you for your energy, commitment, and support throughout the season. This club wouldn’t be what it is without each and every one of you 🏴‍☠️

We’d also like to extend a special thank you to:
🥎 Holly for generously giving her time to support our pitching training
🎉 Nicole for organising such a fantastic awards night
📋 Our committee members for their ongoing hard work behind the scenes to keep the season running smoothly
