1st XV, 2nd XV and 16A/B Preseason Holiday Training
The preseason is well underway with 61 enthusiastic boys who have ambitions of playing 1st XV and 16A Rugby, training at Tennyson to take part in a four-day training clinic. The training signified the official start to preseason. The purpose of the clinic was to revisit the basics of rugby with the boys, performing numerous catch/pass, ball carry and tackle tech. activities. On the final day, the squad played an internal trial under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff. I would like to thank the coaches who kindly gave up their time, Mr Tom Barker, Mr Mark Stevenson, Mr Glenn Brown, Mr Nathan Sanson, Mr Paul Twomey, Mr Glenn Cameron, Mr Jono Roussetos and Mr John Fitzgerald.

Pre-Season Strength Sessions - Rugby
Strength sessions will take place at the College Gym throughout Term 2. The start times are listed below. The strength program will place emphasis on the development of the basic characteristics of efficiency and control of their body weight prior to the progressive build-up of advanced sport specific qualities. These sessions are compulsory and are a vital element of the Rugby program. Please note that the school based strength sessions take priority over any strength sessions occurring in outside gyms. Play with the College – train with the College.
