Dulwich Hill/Marrickville Skills Squad and Junior Info

We are pleased to release the following details regarding the Under 8s to Under 12s program for the coming season. The local Canterbury Association competitions will begin the weekend of April 5th and 6th.

The programs will commence on Tuesday 18th March for both the Under 8s to Under 10s, who will from now on be referred to as the Dulwich Hill /Marrickville Skills Squad, and the Under 11s and Under 12s, who will from now on be referred to as the Dulwich Hill / Marrickville Junior
Development Program.

Training will be at our new training ground Mahoney Reserve which is located at Wharf St Marrickville. A reminder that the Skills Squad will train one night with their Dulwich Hill coach, which will be on Tuesday evenings from 6.00pm to 7.15pm and an additional night (day and time to be confirmed) at Mackey Park with their Marrickville Red Devils coach, who will also attend the Saturday morning match.

The Junior Development Program will train two nights at Mahoney Reserve on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.15pm to 7.30pm. Their coach will also attend the Saturday morning match.

The Canterbury Association has informed us, there will be no break in the competitions during the school holidays and as such training will also continue. If this policy from the association changes, training may follow suit.

Along with the registration form that you have already sent back to us, each player needs to register as a Marrickville Red Devils player in the Canterbury Association. The forms need to be completed but you don't need to pay the fee as this is covered as part of the program. This is to be done at Mackey Park on any of the following dates:

Sat Jan 26th 10am - 3pm
Sat Feb 2nd 10am - 3pm
Tues Feb 5th 6pm - 8pm
Wed Feb 6th 6pm - 8pm
Thurs Feb 7th 6pm - 8pm
Sat Feb 9th 10am - 3pm.

An advertisement of further trials for this program will be placed in the local newspapers in the coming weeks. Those who have already been awarded a position are not required to attend.

For further details on the program view the www.dulwichhillfc.com or www.marrickville-red-devils.org.au websites.

An order has been placed for the players training kit. We will advise the date and location of when the kit presentation is to take place soon. We look forward to seeing all the kids improve and enjoy their football in 2008.

Regards,
Dulwich Hill Coaching Department.
