Chocolate Box Training Team Pursuit launched for 2016/17

We even more pleased to announce that our pre-season training partners Chocolate Box Training have jumped on board as the Team Pursuit sponsor.

The brainchild of the great Ian Wheeler, although we do think he stole it from someone else, the Chocolate Box Training Team Pursuit has been going for the last 7 years and has rewarded countless players with cash for their team due for their great on and off field performances for the Waratahs.

 

The Chocolate Box Training Team Pursuit is a competition aimed at promoting cross grade integration. We have 11 teams with one player from each grade in each team.

This year we will be going back to our roots and including both on and off-field results.

Players get points for on-field results such as runs, wickets and catches, as well as off-field activities involving the club and local community, such as attending social events, helping at T20 matches, attending junior club coaching sessions, and sponsor patronage among a whole other host of other areas. There is a pre-Christmas competition and a post-Christmas competition, both of which have a $1,000 prize money for the winning team.

Cross grade integration is something we are very passionate about at the Waratahs and this competition It is something that we are very proud of and it is an extremely popular part of the season for all players. The competition will be run behind the scene’s by Adam Gummer for 2016/17, but our Club Captains Matty White and Billy D’Arcy will be the heart and soul behind the operations.

Teams will be named just prior to Round 1, with team names to be decided just after this. Time for the players to get thinking.

We are very lucky to have the backing of Chocolate Box Training for this competition. They have been massive supporters of the club during the 2016/17 off-season and are one of the most progressive gym’s in Sydney.
