Player Numbers
We are sitting right on the 200 mark for juniors playing at FHC in 2008. This represents the first time that our numbers have not grown for five or six years, and raises some questions about our pre-season recruiting. This matter will be reviewed at the Junior Division Committee mid-year review.
Some Interesting Observations
Thank you to all of the players and families whose flexibility has allowed us to fill up our blank spots in several teams for 2008. Several children have voluntarily gone to higher age groups to help our numbers out, and as we speak our teams have all achieved required player numbers. Some interesting observations are:
- Our U15 PA team are almost all bottom-age (1st year U15) players. Extraordinary!
- Our U13 Girls Penn team is also very young, comprising of 5 X U13, 5 X U11 players and an U9!
- Our U9 teams are the youngest on record. Watch out for these kids in 2010!
Volunteers Required
The White and Allan families have done a great job in recent years organising our annual parents-only social function. Given their recent retirement from those duties, we are now looking for someone (small group?) to take up this initiative for 2008. Can you help?
