Fresh from dual premiership titles last season, Surfside Waves Soccer Club is planning another all-out assault on the new season.
The Waves won the Men’s Division One and Women’s Division Two titles last season, but new club president Mike Sutton said the club is determined to push ahead and get better.
With more than 320 playing members, Surfside has an enviable junior program.
“From our point of view we want to see if we can lift the minimum standards to improve in every area,” he said.
The Waves are currently searching for an Under 12 Girls and an Under 14 Girls coach and a club secretary.
The club plans to fill two seniors men’s teams, seven junior boys sides, a senior women’s and three junior girls teams this season as well as the Under 7s to Under 11s Miniroos.
Mr Sutton said the club was keen to have the two vacant coaching roles filled as soon as possible.
“We want to be in front of the game in that regard and not finalise it a day or two before the season starts,” he said.
The club will hold an open day at Shell Road on Sunday 24 February from 2pm to 4pm with a 30-minute friendly match between the seniors and juniors, a barbecue and player registration.
“We’re conscious to make it short and sharp,” Mr Sutton said of the two-hour open day.
“We want families and kids to come along.
“We have a winning culture, although we are not all about winning, we want people to enjoy themselves as well.”
Player registrations are open online at surfsidewaves.org.
“The season will upon us before we know it,” Mr Sutton said.
“We think it’s going to be a great season.
“Typically we’ve grown 20% each season.”
