Girls Make Their Mark

In recent years there has been a growing contingent of girls signing up to play, with two of the Cats’ under-15 girls progressing to make the AFL All-Australian team.

Junior girls co-ordinator Alera Heyward (pictured top left) says the girls’ competition is something she hopes to develop and nurture further this year, with the club introducing a Sisterhood program.

“The girls simply love footy, I think more than the boys at the moment,” Alera says.

“We have gone from only having one team of under-17s girls in 2019 to having more than 160 girls last season and hopefully we will have significantly more before the season starts in April.

“This year we have also started the Sisterhood program where our senior members mentor the younger girls in the hope that they will transition into the seniors’ competition.

“Having the senior girls to look up to is an amazing thing for the younger girls. It gives them support and helps to grow the club culture between the junior and senior members.

“Also, with both boys and girls able to play, a lot more parents are also starting to join up, strengthening the Cats’ reputation for being an inclusive, family friendly club.”

Sign-on for the upcoming 2023 AFL season is now open. Anyone wanting to be a part of the Broadbeach Cats Junior competition can find out more on the club’s website.

“After deciding to sell my main river property in Sorrento, I spoke to several of my friends and business colleagues and many recommended using Kollosche, especially Harry Kakavas and Michael Kollosche. The Kollosche team undertook an excellent auction campaign which led to my property selling on the day, where they extracted every dollar on the auction floor. I was impressed with their communication, in particular Harry’s feedback. The Kollosche team, including administration and marketing, conducted themselves as professionals and the entire process was seamless. I’m confident nothing more could be done to achieve a better price. If I had my time over again, I wouldn’t do anything differently. Thank you again Harry, Michael, Jay, Suzie and Monique.”

“When it came time to sell our land in Main Beach, we knew Michael Kollosche and Jay Helprin were the only agents who could achieve the best outcome. Their sales strategy, marketing campaign and strategic advice extracted the best price in this tough and shifting market. Michael and Jay’s consistent communication throughout the entire process kept us well-informed which was amazing, as was the communication from their administrative staff, marketing team and accounts department. They left no stone unturned and collaborated with other internal and external agents, so we knew they were working to achieve the best sale price for us. We couldn’t recommend them more highly, so if you’re looking to sell for a great price, you need to be speaking with Michael and Jay.”
