The Parramatta Eels are excited to invite fans to an open training session at Fairfield Showground on Saturday morning, November 30.
Members and fans have the chance to watch their favourite players train and to participate in a meet-and-greet session, fostering a closer connection between the team and our community.
Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos emphasised the significance of community engagement and providing opportunities for fans to have personal interactions with players.
“Connecting with our fans is incredibly important to us. Events like this not only allow supporters to see the hard work our players put in but also strengthen the bond between the club and the community. We’re all part of the same family, and it’s vital for us to bring our fans on the journey and to show our appreciation for the incredible support we receive,” said Sarantinos.
This event coincides with the weekly Fairfield Markets which is open 9am to 4pm and includes up to 500 undercover stalls, great for families who would like to make the most out of the day.
The team’s open training session on the sports field is adjacent to the Markets Awning area and separated by the Grandstands. Members and fans can flow and move between the sports field and markets area once on site.
Please note players will do their best to meet and greet as many fans as possible, however this is not a signing session. We will announce a signing session for Members at a later date.
