Avalon Rugby Football Club goals are to:
- Create a winning/supportive environment that players, their family and their friends are proud of and want to be part of.
- Develop all players, coaches and administrators so that they can reach their true potential.
- Keep the talent within the Avalon catchment area (Taita, Naenae, Avalon) at Avalon
- Create awareness within the local community that Avalon is a club that has a place for everyone, whether it be playing, coaching, administrating or as a supporter.
In regards to our premier team, 2011 has not been our best year in terms of results, loosing some crucial games at vital times has cost us a place in the premier grade in 2012.
The club’s new focus is to get back premier status. To do this we have set a specific goal to win the Hardham Cup by going through the 2012 season unbeaten.
To achieve this goal the club is in the process of introducing strategies to address player retention, player recruitment and sponsorship. We are also looking at advertising for coaching and management staff for 2012 and are putting in place a summer fitness plan to ensure all players have every chance to hit the ground running at the start of the 2012 season.
The club has worked hard to form strong alliance with the local secondary schools by providing training resources and the hosting of the traditional college clash between Naenae and Taita for the Avalon Cup. The club recognises the importance of nurturing junior players and the Avalon Cup is just one of the keys in achieving this.
With the advent of the 2012 season, the club is looking to have teams in senior 1sts, senior 2nd's, senior 3rd's, 80/80's, president's, colts and under 19. We also have a thriving junior section where many of our players from our 11's, 12’s and 13's have gone on to represent Hutt Valley and Wellington.
