Players from the Marist Brothers Rams also will be helping with the Sign On Days, running ball drills with the kids who sign on.
Rowe said registration, if parents use the Service NSW Active Kids Voucher, will be free, with each child receiving a training shirt, playing shorts and socks.
"The registration fee is $100, so we encourage parents of any child to redeem one of the two yearly Service NSW Active Kids Vouchers. It costs parents nothing at all," he said.
Registration is for children, boys and girls, aged from five to 16.
"We are appealing to anyone, even those who have never played football before, but wonder what it would be like, to come to Woodlawn and just see.
"We are calling out for 13 to 16-year-olds. Come and take a look.
"Anyone wondering what it is like, or secretly wants a go, then please come to Woodlawn on Saturday."
In addition, the Gold Coast Titans are holding a pre-season training clinic plus player meet & greet at Oakes Oval, Lismore, on Thursday, February 25, from 4pm.
Numbers for this event are strictly limited, and all those wishing to participate must be registered.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to see the Titans up close and to train with them. You have to be registered for this," said Rowe.
