Last week was National Volunteers Week and it was a timely reminder how lucky Rangers is to have such wonderful volunteers.

Big thank you to our Volunteer Support Convenor, Tracey McConnell who helped organise the following volunteers last week and thanks to the Volunteers themselves:

• Tent Set Up:  Brett, Eden & Scott from Rangers 25
• Tent Pack Up:  Mick Mansfield (like magic by himself)
• Pack Up Duty:  Heidi & Brooke Rankin, Georgia McNae, Emily Turner, Sharon & Emily Serow
• Grace Bobbermien without hesitation umpired a second game when an umpire fell sick – Umpire Convenor will be eternally greatful!

Rangers would like to acknowledge our Coaches, for all of their hard work involved in coaching.  To give you a snippet of what they do: A typical season involves the coach reflecting at the start of the season, during/after training sessions, and after games on how the team is progressing. Every Wed night they develop training session plans, which sometimes have to be adapted when players do not attend. They organise a playing/sitting off roster and for those with 9 and 10 players this is a difficult task. They get there early and stay late. They carry around the kit bags, and store them at home. They look up resources, they … And that is not even half of what they do, but most importantly Coaches are there for your daughter/you so that you can play the sport that you love!

If you would like to have a look at our Coaches page we have updated the list of our coaches who have obtained coaching accreditation.  Rangers has applied for a grant and if successful it is hoped that all of our coaches will have their Foundation accreditation by the end of the year.

So on Saturday, please take a moment to thank your coach/es for going that extra mile. And after each training session and game day, please thank your coach for their time. If you think they are doing a great job, please tell them, and/or let the committee know as well if you would like, it’s always nice to hear the positives!

WDNA has been chosen to demonstrate NetSetGo during the break at the Firebirds game this Sunday. Rangers has the opportunity to send 4 players from the Emu division – Rangers 29&30.

Thank you to the Night Season Rangers 1 team who were very excited to be the officials in the name drawing.

The winners are:
Rangers 29 – Zoe Hopman & Emma Gorge
Rangers 30 – Alexandra Winks & Romy VanBeest

Have a great time on Sunday girls!
