2021 JPL and Kangaroos grading
Due to a late finishing 2020 season and the 2021 season will not commence until either late March or mid April, Robina City elected to have most selection trials commence in January.
New players to the club are welcome. All our JPL teams have a paid coach and fees are $600, or for Under 12s either $440 or $640 with 3 training sessions per week with 1 session with the GCU Talent Centre.

Under 18s
In 2021 we will have 2 teams in Under 18s again - JPL and Division 1.
Our 2019 Coach of the Year Frank Rodino will oversee the 18s program. His Under 16s were Grand Final Runner-Up this year.
Training will commence on Monday 11 January at 630 and continue on Monday’s and Wednesday’s. The 18s are part of our pathway to Premier League where we finished top 4 in 2020. Our Under 18s and a Metro Division 1 team filled with Under 23 players in 2021 will build toward an Under 23s team in 2022 (the 2022 FGC structure will have under 23s play on a Saturday before Premier League Reserves and Premier League).

10 Year Coach Recognition: Matt Glew
Robina City has a small but loyal group of coaches who have coached for 10 years or more. This year we acknowledge 2 coaches joining the 10 year club. The first is Matt Glew.
Matt first started Assistant coaching at Robina in 2009. After his eldest daughter Amber moved to NPL, Matt returned after time out to coach his youngest daughter Vanessa. Matt coached girls teams for many years before moving into womens in 2019. He was our Womens Director in 2020 and coached both our Brisbane Premier League and Reserve’s womens teams in the second half of 2020.
Over the 10 years, he was Assistant Coach when Amber’s Under 13 team won the 2011 Grand Final. He was Assistant Coach when Vanessa’s team made their first Grand Final, before taking over the team and coaching them to 2 Premierships and 4 consecutive Grand Finals with 3 wins. During one stint his team went undefeated for 38 games. Matt’s wife Kylie was the Manager for many of his teams over the years.
Matt was also our Girl’s Director for a number of years during a significant growth period for our Girl’s program.
In 2018 Matt also coached an Under 15 Gold Coast Girl’s team in the FQ Community Cup.
Thank you Matt and to your family for your commitment to Robina City 💙❤️
