Dirty boots and faces, mud-caked jerseys to wash, oranges at half time and the biggest smiles on little red faces every Saturday morning.
That's what club rugby is all about and its time to sign up for the 2009 season.
A host of Blues players will be on hand this weekend at various clubs across Auckland to meet young rugby players and help out with club registrations. Full club details can be found in The New Zealand Herald on Friday, or visit www.aucklandrugby.co.nz
And to really kick off the season and get the little rugby players raring to go, each player aged 12 and below that signs up to play rugby will receive a fantastic MILO rugby ball thanks to Auckland Rugby and Nestlé.
They will also get a bag full of MILO goodies to take home, and one lucky junior player will even have the chance to carry on the match ball before kick-off at a Blues home game at Eden Park.
“Rugby is a fantastic sport to introduce to your children and the whole family,” Blues head coach Pat Lam said.
“It’s a great way for them to get out there, get active and have heaps of fun making new friends. Nestlé have been outstanding long-term sponsors of junior registration and giving kids a brand new MILO ball when they register is the perfect way to kick-start their rugby career.”
Nestlé Corporate Services manager Maurice Gunnell said Nestlé was an ongoing sponsor of junior registration because they were committed to encouraging kids to get active.
“Nestlé is very pleased to sponsor Junior Rugby Registration with our MILO brand. We believe that encouraging children to be active and take part in organised sport is a vital part of a healthy Kiwi childhood,” he said.
