The NSJRU Academy program is a 5 week program designed to get our players in our 4 Village Clubs (Drummoyne, Hunters Hill, Mosman and Norths Pirates) ready for the season with skills and drills sessions combined with some rugby fitness.
The Academy is open to all players of all ability from ages U10s to U16s. Whether you are playing rugby to have fun with your mates or aspiring to make representative selection, we welcome all players to our Academy program.
The Academy program is managed by Mike Cross and his team at TryTime Rugby, who have extensive coaching experience across all age groups. Mike has extensive experience as a coach including head coach of the NSW U19 and u15 teams. We work closely with Norths Seniors to include coaching and other resources that will enhance the program and show our players the rugby development pathway.
More details about the 2026 Academy will be posted here early January with a booking link! Kick off date is Sunday 1 February. Be sure to check back, but in the meantime below is some basic information.
- Venues are usually shared amongst the rugby grounds of our 4 Village clubs, based on availability
- Bring water bottles, mouthguards, headgear & a great attitude
For U13s & above, there is also the option of adding in 3 sprint sessions with Roger Fabri and his Speed Academy team.
