Join the Lions!
2011 promises to be an exciting year! Building on the momentum of 2010, we strive to take things further both on and off the field with a very enthusiastic and community oriented committee taking the reigns. With Hornsby's 50th Anniversay fast approaching in 2012 this is a great year to be a part of The Pride.
Hornsby Rugby Club is seeking expressions of interest for a range of coaching, managing and support positions for the 2011 season across our club.
Hornsby is pleased to announce the signing of Ben Manion as 2011 Club and First Grade Coach. We are looking for other grade coaches as well as specialist trainers who are able to leverage their particular expertise by working with the players & coaches across all grades in targeted areas. In addition we are seeking team managers to work closely with coaches and the committee in supporting players as well as support staff for general and match day activities.
All prospective Coaches, Managers and Support Staff must be enthusiastic, motivated, and able to work as part of a team. They must show initiative, ownership, accountability and above all commitment to Hornsby Rugby Club's values and code of conduct. Coaching qualifications are preferred for all coaching positions however we would be happy to support interested individuals to gain their Level 1 or 2 coaching certificates.
If you would like to help Hornsby out, be it on the coaching staff, refereeing, canteen, social events, volunteer works or even to help out to take a few photos, then please send an email to info@hornsbyrugby.com.au or otherwise you can contact Club President Matt Rugers on 0433 345 649 or any of the committee members. We'd love to have you on board!
2011 Player Membership
From ages 6 to 60. At Hornsby you can spend your entire rugby career at the one club, not having to change as you move from Juniors to Seniors.
The Club starts with the Junior Grades, fielding teams in 10 age groups from Under 6's to Open (Under 18's). Hornsby's Senior Club includes a talented young Colts team (under 21's) and 4 open grades competing in the 2nd Division Suburban Competition. Over the last five years the Hornby Lions have had regular finals appearances and with Grand Final wins for both the Blunt Cup and Robertson Cup were the most successful 2nd Division Club in 2009.
With over 170 Senior players registered in 2010 joining the Lions is a great way to make new friends, enjoy some great rugby and get fit at the same time.
Whether you're an experienced rugby player or new to the game if you would like to play with the Hornsby Lions in 2011 just send us an enquiry through the Contact Us link on either the Junior or Senior Grades link.
2010 Rugby Wrap Up
2010 was a great year for Rugby at Hornsby with once again two teams making the finals series. The Hornsby Lions 3rd Grade team overcame a slow start to become back-to-back Minor Premiers and the 2010 Blunt Cup runners up. The Hornsby Colts continued their strong form making the finals series for the fourth consecutive year. First and Second grades really found their feet in the second half of the season with great individual and team performances resulting in some solid wins. Finally with 73 different players making appearances in Fourth grade across the year the side had challenges gelling as a team but overcame these to post a few good wins.
