Do you want to play American Football (gridiron)?

The Rangers are looking forward to a big year in 2012 and we need your help!

New players, old players, coaches, sideline support, staff and of course supporters are all welcome as we kickstart our 28th year participating in Gridiron Victoria.

2012 Senior Registration Day 12th February

We will be holding a 2012 Senior Registration Day at 12:00 midday on Sunday, 12th February at
Ranger Field, Springfield Avenue Croydon (google maps link).

Pre Season Training

We will be holding some rookie pre-season sessions for 2 weeks after the registration day to give new players a feel for the game, explore the rules, skills and techniques and of course, engage in some contact.

Full pre-season will follow from late February. Training consists of Tuesday and Thursday nights, 7-9:30pm and Sundays from 2:00pm – 4:30pm. Once the season starts we only train Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Season Starts

The Gridiron Victoria season will kick off Saturday 5th May (likely all games are played on the Saturday to avoid conflicting with Mothers Day).

We expect to play 12 matches over the season with the possibility of byes depending upon the fixture. The fixture should be ready around March.

Equipment

The Club will provide helmet, shoulder pads and playing jersey to new players (you can purchase any of these items for yourself if you wish).

You will need to purchase a set of “lowers” – socks, lower pads, belt and pants to complete the uniform for about $50-$100.

Coaching / Sideline / Staff

New coaches and sideline staff are always welcome. We have a range of positions including coaching staff, medical personnel, chain crew, ball person, canteen and support staff and more available. Please let us know if you are keen to help out in any way.
