Volunteer coaches upskill to Coacherees

By discoverybaypirates | December 7, 2021

On Sunday 5th December we ran our first Pirates Coacharee course. Ten of our volunteer coaches spent the day at the North Plaza Pitches working with our very own Jason Broderick to learn and develop their skills as mini’s referees. It was brilliant to see the continued dedication that our parent coaches are putting into the club. This continued effort is only making the coaching and playing experience of all of our players go from strength to strength. Please join me in congratulating the following parent coaches who are now fully qualified Coacherees: Colin Batchelor Denny Hones Vikrant Ganeriwal Daniel Monterosso Brandon Ross Andrew Ryder Linda Sim Lyndon Morant Alistair Williams A special mention also to Chris Pierce and his…

Minis, Youth and Seniors will all be hoping that all the hard work during the off-season will be paying dividends in the months to come.   I urge the community to get behind our players and join me in wishing them the best of luck for the season.    – Simon Tasker Head of Rugby

Junior Netball continues to train at DC College this season.

By discoverybaypirates | September 13, 2021

After following various leads for new training locations within DB, we have been forced to concede to Discovery College’s new hire rates. Moving forward we will continue to explore other training options for next season. Unfortunately Covid has eliminated all other viable options for this season so we are forced to train at DC at a huge cost to the club. All of the netball section is overwhelmed by the support we have had from the Pirates and the local community, Thank you! At least we can now get the juniors training on a court, so let’s get back out there.

Coaches' Corner

A useful page of tips and tricks for our Rugby Coaches, as well as links to coaching resources, courses and steps to become one of our volunteer coaches. We'll help you build your skills and welcome you to an enthusiastic team who all want the best for the Pirates.

Volunteers

Help our teams be the best they can be. Volunteer some time to help us run the club, assist on match days or support our coaching teams. As a community club, we are all volunteers. We're all in this together and every very little bit helps!

Your Club Reps

The DB Pirates is a volunteer-run club. Each of the four sports nominate a Club Rep to represent their section. Club Reps meet as a group regularly to manage all-club business and plan for the club's future. Meet your Club Reps on this page. Got some ideas? Send us a message. We're all ears!

Our generous sponsors

Partnerships and teamwork is the Pirates' way. We couldn't do all this without our generous sponsors supporting and driving us forward. Find out more about our sponsors and any special offers.

Awards

At the end of each season, we honour our players, coaches and all the people who work tirelessly in the background volunteering their time and talents. There's a roll of honour for past recipients too.
See who got recognised here.

Events
