JBNPLOnce again season 2021 presented us with a number of challenges. Unfortunately, just when the season looked like it would near completion, COVID 19 has put a stop to everything.
Our JBNPL teams fought gallantly with mixed results across the board. After observing many games in my short tenure I can categorically say that the future of our football club is looking very bright.
We would like to acknowledge our season 2021 JBNPL coaching staff for their efforts and contribution and we wish them well with their future endeavours.
Having held our JBNPL licence for 2 calendar years (1 true season across 2 years), we have identified how best to improve our high performance program moving forward.
Our club has worked tirelessly off the park to ensure that we create a program that aligns with the rest of our football club. After all, clubs are built on their vision, ideologies and their ability to develop its players both on and off the park.
Season 2022 will see our club introduce an exciting new management team that will set up our new vision and philosophy, implement a new playing style that will hold up against our established competitors and set up a short and long term pathway for all our players. A pathway that’s eluded us in the past. Our new JBNPL coaching team has been chosen because they are aligned with our new direction.
We look forward to announcing them very soon, keep on eye out on social media for more information.
In the meantime, RCSC is now accepting Expression of Interest from new and existing players (Junior Boys NPL U14/U15/U16/U18) for Season 2022!!! Trial date for JBNPL will be confirmed once Government restrictions have been eased. Please fill out the Expression of Interest form to stay up to date for Season 2022.
Seniors
Season 2021 has been very challenging for our senior and reserves men. Despite all the challenges I’m pleased to report that our boys had a year of improvement managing to end their campaign 6th on the table (seniors), 7th (reserves).
What was pleasing to see the unity and comradery that both squads have. Huge credit goes out to head coach Peter Kalogeropoulos and his coaching team for creating the environment. What’s more pleasing was to see the development of our own past Ringwood City junior players taking out the seniors best and fairest and runner up awards. Players that I had the pleasure of coaching around 6 years ago.
Congratulations to our club captain Hayden Rayner (best and fairest) and Paul Kotsanas (runner up).
With the clubs new direction, vision and philosophy, our senior group will grow from strength to strength now that a sustainable pathway has been developed for our talented youth to breakthrough and realise their football dream by playing senior football. What’s more important, we now have a senior coach that will actually make this happen.
I’m excited for what the future holds for our seniors and I look forward to to supporting their journey and success.
Female Football
Overall a brilliant half season for all our female teams. Big well done to our state 1 senior women’s team who were sitting top of the league, having won every game and were well on their way to winning the league and getting promoted. Thanks Bobby and Russell for all your hard work, and great to hear you’re both back onboard next season for that ‘unfinished business’ and gain that promotion you all deserve.
Well done Dom Schipano with our youthful reserves. The club is very grateful to both you and the girls this season for making sure we had a reserve team. We all knew there would be a few tough games, but as the season was progressing the way the players and team were developing is a real credit to your commitment and dedication.
Well done and thanks to all our fantastic junior coaches and team managers.
Our U15 & U14 girls were both sitting 2nd in their leagues and were developing really well, both technically and with game understanding.
We fielded U12, U10 & U8/9 teams this season too. All teams done exceptionally well, they were having a lot of fun and all were very sad to see the season end early.
Expressions of interest have now opened for 2022 for new and returning players U7-U16 by clicking here.
