All coaching positions are currently vacant with anyone interested in taking on these roles invited to submit an application.
The club hopes to field teams in Senior Mens, Senior Womens, Under 14s and Under 12s, Youth Girls, and possibly Under 17s boys as well.
The Auskick program is also looking for an enthusiastic parent to take on this very rewarding role.
Applications can be forwarded to admin@cowrablues.com.au or PO Box 488, Cowra.
Applicants will require a Level 1 accreditation but this can be achieved during the season, with an online course now available which has streamlined the process considerably.
Applications close at the close of business on Monday, December 17.
Training
Training has commenced on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 6pm at River Park.
All new and existing players in all grades, including juniors are encouraged to attend to work on some pre-season fitness.
President Chris Day is feeling confident as the season looms, with a number of players already having signed up for the 2019 season.
“Team sport has to involve a commitment and this season we hope to have all players sign a contract to state their commitment to the footy club,” Day said.
“The signs so far are good with plenty of interest being shown to get a senior’s mens team back on the park,” he added.
