Dear Parents and Players,

I am excited to confirm that Norths Juniors will be hosting its inaugural Sunday Sessions on 17 & 24 November 2024 for all our village clubs’ current U12 and up players.

Our Coaching Director, Mike Cross, from Try Time Rugby will be overseeing our Sunday Sessions to make sure our players are given every opportunity to improve their skills and fitness during the off-season.

Further to this, we are excited to announce we have secured the services of Roger Fabri from Roger Fabri Speed Academy (https://www.speedacademy.com.au/roger-bio/) for these sessions. Roger and his team will work with Crossy and his coaches to teach our players running technique along with skills and drills to help them improve their speed and agility over summer.

On both weekends, the U12s and U13s will train from 3:00pm to 4:30pm and our U14s, U15s and above will train from 4:30pm to 6pm.

The first session on the 17th November will take place at Balmoral Oval, Mosman.

The second session on the 24th November will take place at Taplin Park, Drummoyne.

During these sessions players will be given skills and fitness coaching to help them with their own personal offseason training.

Skills such as catch pass, kicking, lineout throwing and many more will be broken down so that players can work on them in their own time.

Furthermore, running technique and fitness testing will also be explained so players can further understand what they should be focusing on to be successful in 2025.

Along with technical coaching at each session, attendees will also learn training drills to undertake in their own time during the offseason to help them develop their skills and fitness.

With each session being provided free of charge we are excited to have as many players as possible join us for our inaugural Sunday Sessions on 17 and 24 November.

We ask that players respect this program and make every effort to attend both sessions to get the most out of it. Our intention is to give players the tools to help them improve over the off-season so that when they turn up to Academy in February 2025 they have had the opportunity to prepare and be the best they can be.

Please register at the below link. Registrations will close at 6pm on Friday 8 November 2024.
