Next year will mark the second year of existence for the club, who are in the middle of a recruitment campaign.

With the announcement of a new coach, the club has also added five new committee members which should ensure continued growth of the club and sport in the region.

The club kicks off its 2020 recruitment campaign with a 'come and try' day at North park on Sunday December 8.

Juniors between the ages of 9 and 16 kick off at 1pm and seniors start at 3pm.

Club development officer Rob Lembo said anyone with an interest in soccer was encouraged to attend.

"We had a successful 2019 season and want to continue to success into the new year," he said.

"For more information about the come and try day or to join the club in any capacity people can contact me on 0419 886 355 or Jason Oosthuizen 0455746 642."

Stawell Pioneers hosted trials for the 2020 Country Junior Championships last month with a good turn-out of young talent from across the South West Region, including local players.
