If you've never met a Warrior, this weekend will be your chance.
Rotorua league identity Jenny Nahu is excited about the opportunity for youngsters to get up close and personal with members of the Warriors before their match against the Parramatta Eels in the city on Saturday.
The team are coming to Puketawhero Park for a Community Roots Camp and bringing the Rugby League World Cup and Four Nations Trophy with them.
The camp is for kids between the ages of six and 12.
Nahu said having professional sports identities come to town and mix with youngsters helped increase participation in sports.
"We had probably 200 to 300 more kids play league last year," she said.
"It's because we get the Warriors coming down to the fields and meeting with their fans. It's a great opportunity for local families to meet these guys.
"They are really friendly and give the kids a lot of their time," she said.
The camp starts at 9.30am and will include skills and refereeing sessions as well as a mini tournament. It is due to be finished by 1.30pm.
