The team will kick off with their first training run this Saturday at Mollymook Beach Reserve from 2pm.

All established players and newcomers to the club are invited to attend the training session with new players able to register on the day.

The club is hoping to once again field three sides – an under 18s team, a reserve grade team and a first grade team for the 2012 comp.

Following the training session, players will have the chance to stick around and enjoy a barbecue and meet and greet with players and coaches.

Coaches for each team have been appointed with local league legends Paul Love, Paul Winshuttle and Peter Leffley each taking on the coaches duties.

Paul L will once again lead the under 18s, Paul W will be taking the reserves and Peter is back on board with the first grade side.

The Bulldogs had a promising year in 2011 and are hoping to keep the momentum going into 2012.

The Dogs will continue to train through until the start of the season.
