Youth Registration Newsletter

On behalf of your Committee, may we extend a welcome to all new players and parents, and to all those who are returning for another season of the world game. The Committee hopes that with your help and support we can continue to develop KLUSC into a strong family based club catering for all needs. We trust you and your family will support our social activities during the year and that you share in your Clubrooms at Lightwood Park as they are open every Saturday and a well stocked kiosk opens about 9am.

Senior games are played at Lightwood Park most Saturdays and Sunday afternoons which permits youth players and families (at no cost) to stay on a little after their game to support our senior players. Additional information regarding these matches, your Team match reports together with any Training Cancellations (where possible) and also social events are on our website: www.klusc.org.au.

We hope your season will be rewarding both on and off the ground

COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT

There are still vacancies on the Committee and it would greatly assist if we could find another 3\4 volunteers as we are subjecting the present Committee to a massive workload and risk obvious “burn out”.

Be great to see thirteen faces sitting around the table every third Monday at 7:30pm
