Greetings to all Nashville Kangaroos players, members and supporters!! Welcome to 2025.
Read on to see the updates on all the great things we are doing this coming year.
Be sure to MARK YOUR CALENDARS as we have plenty of activities happening this year. As

CALENDAR
First and foremost – we on the board know that everyone is wondering what the games will look
like this year. We are planning two game tracks: USAFL games and Metro games. In addition
to these games we will also have other team events similar to what we have done for many years
now. Bear in mind that we are still talking to several clubs and may make some modifications in
the near future. If so, we will be sure to let everyone know.

TRAINING
The informal training is already underway with Tj and Procter helping run informal kicks – these
posts go out on social media, so get connected if you are not seeing them and want to join in.
The formal training starts in April where we will train every Wednesday starting April 2 and
running through Nationals. As always, training is at ELMINGTON PARK, 5:30 start time,
finish time 7:00 or so depending on weather and light.
DUES
The Dues for 2025 are increasing as noted below. We are also having a Team Meeting on March
17th (Zoom, details coming soon) in which we will be discussing the details of how we arrived at
the dues levels, the details of the club revenues and expenses that make up our budget for the
year, and then other aspects of the season. This will be your opportunity to dive into the details
of how expenses have changed and how that drives the dues structure, and what benefits you get
at each dues level.
Returning Player Dues - $300 (was $250 last year)
Joey (New Roo) Dues - $150 (was $100 last year)
Metro Dues - $100 (was $75 last year)
EVENTS
The other important feature of this update is the balance of our calendar events. We know
everyone is looking ahead to get their own calendars set up for the summer and fall, so we are
releasing these details now (and on the website and socials). We may make some adjustments as
we go forward, either to dates, or to locations. If we do, these will be communicated to the
membership via newsletter, website, and social media postings.

your calendar and get ready for another great season of Kangaroos footy!
CARN THE ROOS!!
