NEW TRAINING FACILITY

We are pleased to advise that the Mt Gravatt Hawks Soccer Club has enterred into a three year agreement with the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds for access to their ovals for training on Monday and Thursday nights. This has been something that we have been progressing  for a number of years to help reduce the load on our current fields.

This new deal ensures that we have a 50% increase on the amount of traning space than has been previously available.  The Mt Gravatt Showgrounds are located 1km from Dittmer Park on Logan Road (on the right hand side heading towards the city).

Please be advised that the ACCESS TO THE SHOWGROUNDS is VIA LOGAN ROAD ONLY - DO NOT access the Showgrounds via Broadwater Road.

Junior Training (except U10) on Thursday nights will be at the Showgrounds.  All training on Monday nights from March 15 will be relocated to the Showgrounds. Some teams that train on Wednesday nights will also be relocated to the Showgrounds. Please see Training Schedule below (please be aware that Monday night training at Showgrounds does not commence until 15/3).

KINDY SOCCER 2010

The Club is pleased to announce that it will be running its popular Kindy Soccer Program again in 2010.  The new season will start on Sunday 18 April with the season program running through until August.

All sessions are run on a casual basis on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30am, we do however pause the program for school holidays, long weekends and special events such as Mother's Day.

The cost is $5 per session and players pay that before each session.  The program also includes participation by parents and it is designed to develop the basic skills or any sport.  

We have two groups, our Kindy Group which are split into 4 different colours each week and we have series on activities in which they rotate every 10-12 minutes. There is miminal contact as most sessions focus on skill, core stability and movement.  At the end of each session we get together and run a game for those keen to hang around and use their newly acquired skills.

Our second group is for the more advanced player who is getting ready for our structured small-sided games program.  This group is coached by a single coach for the entire session and the players need to be able to participate without assistance from their parents.

The whole program is designed to have some fun, provide fitness and help develop basic sports skills.

There is a $5 registration fee payable in addition to the session fee on your first attendance and that is so we can register the player with Football Qld's Squirts Program which provides insurance to the participants.  We ask that parents come around 9am on the first day to ensure that registration paperwork can be completed before the start of the session.

Make sure your player brings along closed in shoes (boots not necessary - neither is a uniform - shorts and t-shirt are appropriate), water bottle, hat and some snacks to replace some of that energy they are going to consume.

For further information please contact our our Kindy Coordinator via email at juniors@mtgravatthawks.org

CANTEEN -- SEASON 2010

We have undertaken an overhaul of our canteen and catering facilities and we are pleased to announced a number of improvements.

We have transformed our canteen to stock a greater range of products and healthy food options.  The club has installed a slushee machine, ice cream machine (soft serve ice cream and low fat frozen yogurt) and a new bean-to-cup espresso coffee machine.  The food range is also being extended to cover meals as well as sandwiches and wraps and will depending on the availability of produce sell salads and fresh fruit.
