It's so great to see our 35/7s (aka The Hurlers) continuing their fantastic fundraising tradition - this time in support of Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. While the Hurlers have an amazing tradition of fundraising for many charities, this time there was an important and deeply personal connection motivating their efforts, and we wish Marin all the best. Great work team!

For those interested, these are the principles our football program is based on. They influence the weekly training session plans we release and the way we are developing our coaches to coach. In the end, it's about providing an environment for children to develop a love for the game and to gain some valuable skills and lifelong friendships along the way.

Key Messages

‘Volunteer’ –  the club is now over 1450 players in size, we have over 80 competitive teams and we need more volunteers. 

Even for a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, every bit helps and reduces the load on the committee.

Playing for Hurlstone Park means that you are part of the Hurlo Community, not a paid member where services are provided.

See the volunteer page for details.

‘Let Kids be Kids’ – our ongoing support for this  national campaign that addresses poor sideline behaviour .

The behaviour of people on the sidelines of junior sport can have a profound impact on kids’ participation and enjoyment of sport.

‘Respect for Officials’ – they are only human and they make mistakes just like players and coaches do.

We currently have a 30% non-return rate of juniors who take up refereeing each year, and that is largely because they cop abuse/commentary/inappropriate behaviour.

Let’s put a stop to that.

‘Diversity and Inclusion’ – our community club supports people from all walks of life to come and enjoy their football in a safe environment.

 ‘Club Development Plan’ – we are 95 years young this year, and we plan to utilise our financial strength to improve our facilities at Ewen and Beaman Parks.

‘Coach Development’ – we are committed in 2019 to improve the level of all our coaches, so that they enjoy the game more, and our players continue to improve.
