Umina Junior Rugby League Football Club has received more than $4,600 as part of the NSW Government’s 2022-23 Local Sport Grant Program to upgrade the club webpage and communication channels for the Bouncing Bunnies teams.
Umina Bouncing Bunnies is an early skills development program for boys and girls aged three to five.
It is an initiative by volunteer Dean Young, who is a local footy player and works with the Central Coast Roosters Development Program.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the funds would enable the Club to flourish with the creation of an easy-to use-online registration system.
“The Bunnies are so much more than the joy of the kids on the field,” she said.
“The happiness and pride on the parents’ faces watching their young Bunnies train is what sport is all about.”
Umina Junior Rugby League Football Club Secretary Melinda Michie said the club’s focus was to engage the community in a fun, friendly and safe environment.
“Our footy community is a diverse and inclusive one and welcoming families through this pathway is our hope,” she said.
The 2023 Program began early this month and runs for two terms.
Each 45-minute session includes skill, fitness and teamwork activities provided by instructors through Little Rugby Central Coast to keep the young ones active and improve their motor skills.
