Taking a break from his preparations for the upcoming weekend, Perry emphasised that the past 4 months work was only the beginning of what he hopes will be his most successful season as Head Coach.
“The Rookie Camps we held in November
and December last year played host to over 40 potential new players eligible
for the adult side. This is a great start for us and together with the email
and phone enquiries we’ve had there’s a real possibility of having a decent
sized squad for 2008.”
“But this will only happen if
we continue to attract more and more new talent into the club, so we will
continue to convey the message that new players are always wanted and always
welcome. Last season we had several players who came along just to ‘give it a
go’. Some were a little nervous at first, but after a few hours of work with
the current team they soon realised what you can get out of playing a sport
like ours.”
Club Captain Mel German was
quick to back up his Head Coach. “People often think they’re too small, slow,
out-of-shape or old to play American football. This is a big mistake, and the
diversity of last year’s squad really demonstrates what can be achieved with
the proper coaching.”

“No session is ever totally
cancelled at the Admirals” said Secretary Paula Dodds. “We will always adapt in
some way, and an all-weather surface really opens up new options for us.”
Sunday’s session begins at 11:00am
