junior skills program (u13 - U15)
The Junior Skills Program for our Under 13- Under 15s age groups will take a two-prong approach for the 2020/21 season. Based on some of the core components of the Wanderers Rugby Academy, this updated program will allow our younger players the opportunity to do some of the training at their own pace whilst still giving them an introduction to the technical skills and physical development techniques seen in our flagship Academy Program.

Program Commitment:
The commitment is fairly simple, players need to be available for all, or the majority of Tuesday and Thursday face-to-face afternoon sessions. Please be at the venue by 4:45pm, dressed and ready to train, training will begin promptly at 5:00pm. Outside of these sessions players may be given activities or programs to complete between the sessions to compliment the program. From time to time there may be a special testing session conducted, players are expected to be available for these sessions.
Players are expected to wear their Academy Kit to all sessions, joggers only are to be worn, boots and mouthguards are to be in players bags as they may be required in some sessions. Players are to bring their own water bottles.
The Club is understanding that due to school commitments, sometimes attending sessions will not be possible. If you are unable to make a session please have the courtesy to contact Shane (0414 657 752) or leave a message on the Academy Facebook page.
It is expected that players who participate in the Academy Program will join our Wanderers Rugby Pathway and commit to staying at Wanderers in coming years and progress into our Grade Rugby programs.
