After a very successful 2008 season we're now starting to put some plans in place for 2009. Here's a quick update on a couple of things we have in the pipeline.
Interested in junior rugby league in Chester?
We remain committed to starting a junior section at the club in 2009. The specific age groups we will target are still to be confirmed and will depend on levels of interest however we will attempt to cater for ANY local youngster who wants to try rugby league.
If you live locally and have kids who you want to get into Rugby League please drop us an email to
info@chestergladiators.com so we can keep track of names and numbers.
Interested in becoming a volunteer for Chester Gladiators?
On Friday 21st November we are holding an information session at Chester University about a course we are running in Chester in the near future. This course is 100% free and is designed to introduce rugby league coaching to those interested in getting involved with the sport.
The idea behind the course is that we will not only work with local schools to get children in Chester playing Rugby League but we will also hopefully create one or two junior teams at Chester Gladiators and anybody completing the course will be more than welcome to get involved further down the line should they wish. This award is ideal for students and anybody else interested in coaching rugby league whether to adults or children.
The information session takes place on Friday 21st November 2008 in room CML009, which is in the Molloy Building on the main university campus. The session starts at 2.30 PM and will last no longer than 90 minutes. For more information please email
info@chestergladiators.com or call me on 07899 717829.
Please note that parking is limited so email me with your car model and registration number to reserve parking spaces.
As always we are very keen to hear from potential players too, whatever you're level of experience. Around 60% of last years squad were totally new to the game.
Thanks
Jim
