Each year we offer applications to the Junior students to enter the Athlete Development Programme (formerly known as the Sports Academy).  During the programme the students travel to EIT Institute of Sport and Health twice a term, where they learn about topics such as muscular actions, speed and strength, physical conditioning and exercise physiology.  They get to participate in theory and practical sessions.  The students also give back to the Community by assisting with the Ripper Rugby and Onga 7's tournaments.

 

Participants selected are: Ceejay Valen Apolonio, Lily Drepaul, Paige Franklin, Jack Hunt, Caitlin Kirk, Poppy Macklow, JD Mananes, Jafet Francis Monegro, Aimee Thomsen, Jack Thomsen

 

We would like to thank Apollo Projects for their sponsorship, helping to bring costs down and sponsoring shirts.
