MEDIA RELEASE Manly Warringah Sea Eagles
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles are taking the game to some of their youngest fans in a new and exciting way with the introduction of the first NRL website especially for kids.
www.seaeaglekids.com was launched this week to entertain, educate and inform the club’s youngest fans.
Realising kids are more likely to embrace new technologies at a younger age the Sea Eagles have jumped at the chance of using new media technologies via the web to reach the kids demographic of ages 4-12.
With online activities now a major part of the education of children the Sea Eagles felt it was imperative to provide enrichment activities to help develop literary, numeracy, computer skills, health and fitness. All the games and activities on Sea Eagle Kids are designed to stimulate at least one of these key developmental processes
The initiative shown by the Manly club in building the Sea Eagle Kids website has been applauded by NRL CEO David Gallop who gave the site his and the NRL’s approval.
“The positive impact Rugby League players can have on kids, lies at the heart of our community.”
“Kids look at the footy and establish their own heroes and that’s how most of our players started out themselves.”
“Through the Kids Mascot Program, through the Little League magazine, and through the work of all our players in the community the NRL works hard to ensure there are opportunities for kids to strengthen their relationship with game.”
“The Sea Eagle Kids website is an important part of this process and the NRL applauds the Sea Eagles for taking this initiative.”
The website provides plenty of education and entertainment for users with much of the site centred around the Sea Eagles high-flying mascot Egor.
Users will find plenty of activities to keep them entertained within the site including flash games, colouring activities, fan photos, newsletters, polls, origami, junior member birthdays, and a junior member hall of fame.
This is combined with all the aspects you would expect to find on a Rugby League site including results, draws, stats and player profiles.
The site will be constantly updating during the season and there will be plenty of competitions offering fantastic prizes.
The website was launched today and can be viewed at the following URL www.seaeaglekids.com |
