No previous experience is necessary, with a tutorial/practice taking place before competition starts. And you have plenty of time to learn the rules in preparation!
It is the aim of the club to have 150 competitors at the event, creating a great atmosphere, but just as importantly, raising some much needed money for the continued development of the Croydon Rangers Gridiron Club.
Tickets will be on sale every Thursday night after training at the bar. Alternatively, tickets can be arranged by contacting michael@croydonrangers.com.au
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.
The Croydon Rangers are participating in the Green House Games from 25th July, over 8 weeks as part of a new initiative from Sustainability Victoria to encourage households to take proactive steps towards reducing their carbon footprint.
The Rangers will officially launch season 2011 with our annual “Green vs White” intra-club match on Sunday, 17th April at Ranger Field in Springfield Avenue Croydon from 2pm.
Following the match, we will be holding a BBQ at the club rooms from 5pm and invite all family and friends of the players and club to come down, enjoy the showdown and celebrate another year of Ranger football.
The game will be contested under full match conditions with Gridiron Victoria officials and pit our offensive and defensive units against one other with all players taking the field.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to Ranger Field on the 17th of April.
Thanks to everyone who came down to register for our 2011 campaign!
