2011 Junior Registration Day

Article updated

On Saturday 6th August at 12:00 noon we will be holding our 2011 Junior Registration Day for the upcoming season at our ground in Springfield Avenue Croydon.

To be eligible to play in the Gridiron Victoria Junior competition you need to be 14 years old before the start of the season and under 18 at the 1st of Jan 2011. All equipment and uniforms can be provided by the Croydon Rangers to keep costs down for our players.

Last year our juniors won all but one game en route to winning the 2010 Junior Vic Bowl.

Now, who wouldn’t want to be part of a winning team?

We encourage anyone and everyone who is interested in playing junior gridiron this year (and their parents!) to come along, meet with players, the coaching staff and club officials.

We will explain what is involved in playing, the rules and requirements and give you the opportunity to throw a ball around and try on some gear.

Season 2011

The 2011 season will kick off late September and run 8 weeks plus a 2 week finals campaign. We will have more information in the next few weeks.

If you have any questions, please contact the Rangers.
