LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT WAY TO SUPPORT OUR CLUB?
Are you a past player, parent, friend or supporter of Old Camberwell? Then get involved and JOIN ALEX AND HIS TEAM OF TRAINERS
Trainers are vital to the support of players during training and on match days.  The club has accredited trainers, but they need a team who will work with them to provide the necessary pre- and post-match care of our players.   Experience is preferable, but not essential. Training nights are Tuesday and Thursday, game days are Saturday.  Pay and times are negotiable.

April is just around the corner!

The committee and the coaching staff have worked very hard to get the ball rolling for season 2010. Off the field the committee have made many objectives come to fruition, thanks to the hard work and time put in, the GBO surface is like a green carpet and as you can see below, the new club rooms are well underway. The ever popular match day lunches will return along with the famous Gala Dinner where the auction items rival Christie's for exclusivity! Many player and supporter functions will add to the stacked social calendar. Watch the social page to see when and where these events take place. The Wellsmen in their second year will once again add their invaluable support to the club both on and off the field.

The coaching staff through meticulous planning and organisation have inspired the players and there are great numbers at training already and all signs point to a fit squad >  Read More

Pre Season training will recommence on Wednesday 21st January 2010. All current and prospective players are requested to meet at Gordon Barnard Oval at 6.00 p.m. for a 6.15 p.m. start time.

Those of you have had the opportunity to read the Club’s Strategic Plan for 2010-2013 will have seen a detailed Position Description developed for this new position.
