We have just finished term 1 of our 3rd consecutive year of Greenies Grommets and again it has been an incredible success and is continuing to grow at a rapid rate. Having started the program in 2017 with 45 registered, we kick started the program this season with 93 registered grommets and by the end of Term 1, the first 5 weeks we had over 112 registered greenies. We have been blessed with huge support not only from the parents, but current senior players and sponsors who give their time every Saturday morning to help make this special event run smoothly.

Similar to last year, we have split the program into 2 x 5 week blocks to coincide with school terms and we have found this works well with family commitments and takes the pressure off the little ones. As our grommets continue to grow and develop we have been able to branch out and introduce more age specific, skill based games and interaction.

We are still open for registrations and Term 2 will commence on the 27th July 2019 and finishing on the 24th August 2019, to coincide with the junior semi-finals.

We have had another wonderful sponsor in GoKindy join PRD and come on board, meaning we can give more gear back to the grommets while keeping the cost down for parents. Most importantly, rugby is back and we couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead this year.

Recently our grommets enjoyed a Saturday morning session at Townson Oval and a fantastic time was had by all. We got some great photos including one of the grommets and their parents sitting in the Clarke Stand in front of the new Green Room.
