The RF is pleased to announce that it will sponsor the FFC Development Squad for $5500 in 2010. The program is headed up by Steve Hurl of Hurl's Fitness in Clifton Hill. This successful program has been running for a couple of years through player fitness sponsorships through the generosity of individuals, but this is the first year the whole program will be formally funded. The development program involves one night per week of pre-season conditioning training for players for conditioning and a strength, fitness and cardio program for players. It also entitles the players to membership of Hurl's gymnasium.

The RF is also pleased to announce a $1,000 sponsorship towards the purchase of new fitness equipment – current stocks are either inadequate or in need of replacement.

The RF is pleased to be able to support the club in these tangible ways and which is aligned with its charter.
