The Williamstown Football Club is excited to host its first open day of the year, to encourage engagement with the Hobsons Bay community.
Marketing manager Leanne Di Battista said the open day is a chance for the community to meet their Victorian Football League men’s and women’s team before the season starts on Friday, March 22.
“It will be a chance for everyone to watch them train and afterwards have the opportunity to meet them and say hello,” she said.
“On the day we will have a coffee cart, a free barbecue, some kids activities and pace painting as well as a membership booth and merchandise booth set up for those who haven’t signed up yet or want to snag themselves some merchandise.”
Ms Di Battista said her focus for this upcoming season is on the community.
“That is my key strategy for this season, to really encourage community engagement and to provide it more for families,” she said.
“I feel like a lot of our members and people that come to VFL games are actually quite older.
“So I want to provide a fun opportunity for families who would like to go to the AFL but it is a bit much so they go down to their local club and support their local club, while still having a premium elite football experience.”
The open day will run on Saturday, March 16, at Bayside College, Williamstown.
