29 JAN-25: NORTHS JUNIORS ACADEMY STARTS SUNDAY 2 FEB-25
Dear NSJRU U10+ players & supporters
Thank you to the 200 players that have registered for our Academy that commences this Sunday at Taplin Park, Drummoyne. We are looking forward to seeing you all. If you havent registered yet, please do so ASAP – Academy plus add-on Speed Program if U13 & above https://www.trybooking.com/CYGCZ
We will be focussed on getting our players ready for the season ahead with skills and drills sessions combined with some rugby fitness.
Academy
Academy is open to all players in U10s & above from our village clubs (Drummoyne, Hunters Hill, Mosman and Norths Pirates) no matter your experience or skill levels. Whether you are playing rugby to have fun with your mates or aspiring to make representative honours, we welcome all players to our Academy program.
The program will be run by Mike Cross and his Try Time Rugby coaches.
The skills and techniques passed on at Academy will help improve your rugby for the season ahead.
U10s, U11s and U12s – train from 3pm to 4:15pm.
U13s, U14s, U15s, U16s – train from 4:30pm on 2 Feb, 16 Feb and 2 Mar until 6pm and 4:45pm on 9 Feb and 23 Feb until 6:15pm.
The cost per player is $125 for the 5 week program. The first 250 players to register will also receive complimentary Academy kit – including a training top.
Speed Program – U13s & above
For the U13 and above age groups, there is also the option of adding in 3 sprint sessions with Roger Fabri and his Roger Fabri Speed Academy team of coaches.
The sprint sessions will be held fortnightly at 4pm on 9 and 23 Feb and 9 Mar for 45 minutes prior to the start of the Academy session. The cost for this is $100.
If you are considering adding this program to the Academy program, please understand there is an expectation that players practice the skills and drills they have learnt at each session at least a couple of times before the next session. If they aren’t able to put in the extras between sessions this additional program may not be for them.
Venue
Venue locations for each week will be confirmed each week. We will try and move Academy around as much as possible between the clubs, however we are limited by access to fields.
Register with your Village Club first
All players attending Academy must be registered with their club prior to attending our first session on 2 Feb – this ensures all players are insured.
WhatsApp group
Please ensure you have joined the NSJRU Academy updates WhatsApp chat group https://chat.whatsapp.com/GaEbOnUjq9cGII7oH3vtYL
We will provide updates on training times and venue changes due to weather, etc in this group.
Any Qs
If you have any questions re Academy 2025, please contact myself, one of the NSJRU Committee members or your Village Club President.
We look forward to welcoming as many players as possible across our village clubs to NSJRU Academy 2025 starting this Sunday.
Cheers
Nathan Davis
President
Northern Suburbs Junior Rugby Union
