Welcome to Northlakes Junior Rugby Club, home of the Pirates! The club is located in Budgewoi and offers a vibrant and inclusive rugby community for players of all ages and skill levels.
2021 was a challenging year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the club managed to squeeze in a few rounds before lockdown. However, the 2022 season is now in full swing, and the Pirates are excited to get back on the field. Despite the wet and muddy conditions, the club is determined to provide a fun and competitive rugby experience for all participants.
The Northlakes Junior Rugby Club is incredibly grateful for the support it has received from the local community. The club would like to extend a warm thank you to its sponsors, including DMC as their first major sponsor for 2022. Other sponsors such as The Beachie, Ainsworth Accounting, BTK Transport, Coast Care Support, Colonial Plumbing and Drainage, JAWO designs, Loop, Rycal Hunt Builders, Wiseberry, and The Lakes Rugby have also provided invaluable support. Their contributions allow the club to offer free rugby for U5-U7 age groups and subsidise registration fees for older age groups.
Additionally, the sponsors enable the club to offer free shorts and socks to all players, purchase team jerseys and equipment, and organise various events throughout the year to foster team bonding and a strong family culture.
In 2022, the Northlakes Junior Rugby Club is excited to provide all registered kids with a free training shirt. This is made possible by the generous support of their sponsors. The club's focus has never been on making a profit, but rather on providing an enriching rugby experience for its members. To show gratitude, the club encourages everyone to support its sponsors whenever possible by visiting them, referring to them, and engaging with their social media pages.
The Northlakes Junior Rugby Club owes much of its success to its dedicated committee members and volunteers. These individuals generously donate their time to ensure that all kids have the opportunity to play rugby in a safe and enjoyable environment. From setting up the home ground on early winter mornings to coaching, refereeing, managing teams, and handling administrative tasks, the committee, and volunteers go above and beyond to create the best possible experience for the players. The club encourages anyone interested in making a positive impact to join their friendly and passionate team of volunteers.
Lastly, the Northlakes Junior Rugby Club would like to express its gratitude to the kids, families, and supporters who have helped make the club the best on the coast. Their enthusiasm and support are essential in creating a thriving rugby community. The club looks forward to another fantastic season in 2022 and can't wait to see everyone on the field!
