A new year and a new committee.

Moss Vale Junior Dragons are on the hunt for new faces in a bid to boost the club' numbers for the 2012 season.

President Matthew Burke said this season they hoped to bring a family atmosphere back to the club and get parents more involved.

"We've got a few different things this year. We've got with registration players kits to hand out which is shorts, socks, jumpers, a football, drink bottle and stuff so we're just trying to create a good atmosphere for the kids to come and enjoy footy," he said.

"We're building on a family sort of approach and just for all the kids to have a good time."

With their main registration day held last Sunday, Burke said a third of the children there were new faces.

"We had our main day last Sunday and i think we had just on 60 come through, nearly a third of those were new kids altogether."

"We want to encourage as many new families to come along as we can."

To get families more involved, Burke said they would hold a number of functions throughout the year.

"Possibly a club disco for the kids. We've got club memberships this year so parents can join to be members of the club to help support the kids," he said.

"We're just trying to get mums and dads back into it and get the families more involved."

Burke said they also planned to hold functions for their members throughout the year and at this stage everything was looking positive for the club.

"So far [it's] all pointing in the right direction but a lot of work still to be done."

Registration will continue for the junior Dragons at Community Oval, Moss Vale on Wednesday afternoons from 4pm.
