It is a much anticipated transition for the young players and one that they have been looking forward for a number of years.
Many of the Storm Under 16 and 15 years age group are in Year 10 at Lithgow High and much of the conversation at their formal night was centred about coaches and moving up into grade and into the Under 16 age group.
The Under 16 Storm side has dominated Group 10 through their march through the age groups culminating into winning the grand final.
These Stormers will be joined in the Wolves Under 18 side the following year by the many talented youngsters from the Storm Under 15 who will play their final year with the Storm Club which should make for a very strong unit.
The Wolves have released the names of their coaches and joining premier league coach Graeme Osborne who had already been signed are Ross Harrington who will continue to coach the Under 18 side after taking over the reigns last year and took his side to the final after the Under 18 side failed to win a game the year before.
The First Division side will be coached by Kyle Willmott who is well respected among his team mates and opposition and will have a number of good young players moving from the Under 18s into senior grade to work with.
