PROGRAM BUILDS GRITTY PLAYERS
THE Gold Coast Academy of Sport recently commenced two programs, including one for under-12 rugby union.
Forty-two young boys are part of the program to learn better skills, to learn how to approach their training and game play better, and to appreciate the game.
They are hopefully being given the tools to ask “Why not me?”
There may be one or even a few who might go on to represent their state and their country. If so, the people associated with the program will be grateful to have been part of their development. To have started their development of GRIT to succeed (see story above).
The other program which was commenced was for rugby league refereeing, where young men are learning the basics of running and learning how they improve their approach to recovery and nutrition to ensure they are able to control a game.
This is a unique program one that the Academy hopes will grow in the future.
Coming up in the next few months we also have programs involving hockey, a BMX day and a program called “Future Stars” which enables athletes outside of our regular programs to become involved with the professional approach to training and competition.
In the past we have had track and field athletes, ice hockey, cheering, basketball, go-karting, triathlon, Aussie rules and other sports as part of this program.
You can inquire through our website for further details as this program offers a sixmonth program and membership to the Southport Sharks gym.
The Academy also offers a scholarship program linked with the Carbine Club.
This is a $5000 scholarship to help the athlete progress and train within their sport.
A clearly positive connection with people and givers that helps to offer you the opportunity to progress further in your chosen activity.
I cannot stress enough how special this opportunity is. Take the challenge – contact the Academy and find out more.
