Hi folks,
Things are definitely getting into gear here in the CUB secret underground facility. Leagues are ending, leagues are starting, trainings are running, teams are forming, and schemes are being fleshed out as the winter hibernation ends and the Canberra ultimate coommunity gets ready for another rowdy 9 months of nightly outdoor leagues.
A few changes are in the pipes for the next bracket of outdoor leagues. Division 1 will move to Wednesday nights at O'Connor playing fields, development clinics and coaching will be on offer to Division 2 and 3 teams, and there's the possibility of changing the timeslots of Divisions 2 and 3 to accomodate more players in the future if required. Our ambitious grab for field allocations has provided us with a bounty of fields which we will exploit to ensure that we can provide the best facilities to out club teams, league teams and development sessions.
We've also tracked down a League Organiser for Division 1 and have several keen candidates for LOGs for divisions 2 and 3. Division 1 can also expect a shake up of format, four club teams will be introduced into the league as a way of improving the standard of the league, although we'll retain two draft teams for spring league to ensure a smooth transition. We should have an announcement on the formation of those club teams soon.
Booking fields has also meant we can pin down our training dates over the next few months. Kaboom training will stay at O'Connor on Thursday nights, as will Fyshwick United and Factory Girls training over the warmer months. We should be running roughly 4 weeks of bridging sessions at the start of the single-gender season to get any keen new players up to speed.
And finally, with the AFDA breathing down their necks, the Kaboom stewards are starting to thrash out some kind of selection plan for the three club teams they'll be sending to Mixed Nationals on the 18th-20th of October. Flights are cheap, so if you're interested in heading up but haven't let the Kaboom kids know either head along to training this Thursday from 6:15 until 8:30 or email me at who.is.the.schmooze at gmail dot com.
Details about registration for leagues, costs, times and all that jazz should be out soon, they'll get posted on the ACTUA website, emailed to the Autumn League list and posted up here. Stay tuned.
