Rugby

Preseason holiday training

The preseason got well underway with over 80 enthusiastic boys who headed to Tallebudgera to participate in a three-day 1^st XV and 16A Rugby training camp. The training signified the official start to the Rugby preseason. The purpose of the camp was to revisit the 'basics' of rugby. It was also an ideal time for the coaching and playing group to come together as one. I would like to thank the coaches who kindly gave up their time, particularly Mr Michael Broad, who has been appointed Head Coach of the 1^st XV program.

The Easter holiday clinics held at Tennyson also saw the commencement of our Term 2, Under 12 – Under 15A/B program.  This well-planned program is designed for those boys who have ambitions of playing A/B level rugby. It is not too late to sign up.  Please see Mr Mandrusiak in the Sport Office if you would like to be part of the program.

Term 2 preseason strength sessions

Strength sessions will take place at the College Gym throughout Term 2. Start times can be found on the College App. The strength program will emphasise the development of the basic characteristics of efficiency and control of body weight before 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 College-based strength sessions take priority over any strength sessions occurring in outside gyms. Play with the College – train with the College.
