Laurimar’s moving forward

A new-looking committee is hoping to help the Laurimar continue to develop in the Northern Football League.

New president Chelsa Robson said the old committee members had done their fair share of the work and it was time for others to step up.

“We had the same committee since the inception,” she said. “Some of these guys are the fathers of the club and have been involved since 2011.

“Their kids are now into the senior group and they need a break more than anything. They’re helping with other roles.

“This year we’ve got a new committee with a new flavour and a new enthusiasm.”

Robson was vice-president last season having previously been the communications manager and thought why not when the opportunity came to take on the presidency role.

Robson’s main focuses are to further develop the female program at the club, while ensuring they have a strong AusKick program to flow into the junior sides.

The club has appointed a new female football operations manager to help with that process.

“We’ve got a girls and women’s footy ops person she is going to really develop some good programs.

“She’s got some good ideas and we want to focus on the transition from under-18s to senior football.”

The Power has appointed co-coaches for the women’s side in Sarah Scheggia and Jazmin Hall.

Hall was part of the club’s first women’s side and has progressed through to coaching.

Scheggia joined the club the last couple of years after being involved in football for a long time.

“I think it’s going to be fablous having two female coaches.”

Jimmy Atkins will coach the men’s side again.

While the senior coaches are locked in, the club is still looking for an AusKick coordinator.

Robson said they were looking for someone passionate about helping develop the next generation of footballers.

Last year’s AusKick stars will have the chance to celebrate their achievements on February 20 with a presentation day.

The presentation part will be followed by a football club information day at Montville Street Main Oval.
