A message from the President

Dear Members, Coaches, Players, and Supporters,

As we close out the 2024 season, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support and dedication. This year has seen a period of growth and resilience, and your unwavering commitment has been crucial in helping us achieve new milestones.

Despite the challenges we faced, including some tough moments on the field, we have made significant strides. Our progress is visible in the achievements and improvements we’ve made across all levels of the club. While we may not have reached every goal this season, the foundation we’ve built is strong, and it will serve us well as we look forward to the future.

Looking ahead to the 2025 season, we are excited about the opportunities for growth and success. Our focus will remain on building robust and competitive teams, enhancing our facilities, and fostering a positive environment for all players. We are committed to learning from this season’s experiences and leveraging them to drive further progress.

I would like to extend a special thank you to our coaches, who have guided and inspired our players, and to our volunteers and sponsors whose support has been invaluable. Your contributions play a vital role in the success of our club, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment and hard work.

As we enjoy the off-season, I encourage everyone to take time to rest and recharge. Let’s come back next year with renewed energy and a shared vision for continuing our journey of improvement and success. Your dedication and enthusiasm are what make our club great, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together in 2025.

Thank you once again for your continued support. Enjoy the break, and I am excited to welcome you all back for what promises to be an exciting new season.

Warm regards,

Sam Merlino

President, Whittlesea Ranges FC
