CLUB SONG update . . . 

As a reminder to all teams what a passionate rendition of our club song can sound like, one only has to watch & listen to Richmond after their first win for a while.

From the number of new players inside the circle, they might have been forgiven for forgetting some of the words, but whether you're a Richmond supporter or not, this really hits the spot !

FOOTBALL PARENTS – SUPPORT, SMILES AND SPORTING SUCCESS

Parents love their children and want nothing but the best for them. Behaviours that others may see as “pushy”, sporting parents see as “lovingly supportive”.  As parents, some for the first time, prepare for another season of Australian Football, Wayne Goldsmith from Moregold Sports considers some of the common questions from parents who want their best for their child.

The questions considered include:

• How many times should a child train each week?
• When should a child specialise in a sport, event or position?
• Do young AFL players need a special diet?
• How do kids balance school and sport?
• When should my kids start strength training?
• What types of exercise are best for young (i.e. pre teen) athletes?
• How do I choose a good coach for my child?
• What are the common characteristics of champion players?
• What can I do to help my child achieve their goals in AFL?
• How can I tell if my child is doing too much?

After many years of Angry Anderson impressions, this week ushered in a new era in the proud history of our club, when it was announced that we would be adopting a new club song.

It has been felt for some time that finding a more recognisable tune might allow all our players, parents & supporters to join as one and deliver a proud and passionate rendition of a song befitting the mighty Cougars.

Oh we're from Cougar land

A fighting fury we're from Cougar land

In any weather you will see us with a grin

Risking head and skin

If we're behind then never mind we'll fight and fight and win

Oh we're from Cougar land

We never stop until the final sirens gone

Like the Cougars of old

We're young and we're bold

Oh we're from Cougar ( TEAL, WHITE & BLACK )

Oh we're from Cougar land

COUGARS !!

We look forward to hearing it all across the East Fremantle district over the weekend !

Welcome one and all

We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very much a family oriented club which values participation, sportsmanship, community and skill development within a friendly social environment.
