Grant to upgrade website for Bouncing Bunnies
Umina Junior Rugby League Football Club has received over $4600 as part of the NSW Government's Local Sport Grant Program.
The money will be used to upgrade the club's webpage and communication channels for their Bouncing Bunnies teams.
Umina Bouncing Bunnies is an early skills development program for boys and girls aged 3-5 years old.
The program is an initiative of volunteers Mr Dean Young, who is a local player who works with the Central Coast Roosters Development Program.
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch said the funding will 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.
"The happiness and pride on the parents and community faces watching their young Bunnies train is what sport is all about."
Umina Junior Rugby League Football Club secretary Ms Melinda Michie said: "Fundamentally Umina Junior Rugby League remains a community club whose focus is 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."
The 2023 program will commence in early May and runs for two terms.
She said each 45-minute session would include skill, fitness and teamwork activities provided by instructors through Little Rugby League Central Coast to keep the young ones active and improve their motor skills.
Details will be available on the club's website at https://uminabunniesjrlfc.com.au.
