TSVL - Townsville Super Villain League

·         The committee is looking at introducing a higher level league.

·         League Directors will be Matt Finn and Scott Adams

·         The goals of the league are to create some structure amongst the players that want to participate at tournaments and to give local players something to move on to after one or two beginner level seasons.

·         The league will be a draft selection and will require a minimum of 44 players.

·         It is envisioned that players wanting to play at Halibut and Nationals will be drawn from this league first and players travelling to Regionals and Halibut will be the first in line for QUDA travel subsidies.

·         Expected Start date will be June 2013.

Indoor

Indoor pickup went well from December to April and it certainly gave those of us around for the summer holidays something to do. Unfortunately with the lack of interest we’re going to put Indoor off until there is more interest/better facilities to accommodate games in the middle of summer.

Indigenous League

·         The start up of the Indigenous League has hit a snag. Initially it was viewed that six teams would be very achievable however since the Football season has started only three teams could be made.

·         It was determined the league should wait until October (after the footy season) before trying to get the season started. We’ll be providing coaching support, skills training and league development advice.

·         We hope to have several players join the Halibut team.

Halibut

·         Halibut is coming up again in August and will most likely be in Brisbane.

·         We’re definitely sending a team down.

·         If you’re interested please talk to Matt Finn or Chris Ende.

NQ Hat

·         It’s Townsville’s turn to host the NQ Hat!

·         Chris Ende will be the TD.

·         QUDA have confirmed that the June long weekend is a good date.

·         We will need volunteers to help out. If you’re keen to help let Chris Ende know.

Bid for hosting Mix Nationals

·         Chris Ende has been working on a bid for Townsville to host Mixed Nationals in 2014.

·         John Hempel from AFDA has provided guidance by looking over our bid and is very supportive of the bid.

·         Fields have been booked (Queens Park and the Sports Reserve).

·         We will need a lot of volunteers to make this work

UNI Games

·         Matt Finn is organising a team to go to uni games this year. This will be the first time that we go to uni games since 2007(?).

·         If you’re keen contact him.
