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 the 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 and other primary school events.

Participants selected are: 

Aaron Benson, Sophia Coddington, Taikura Galbraith, Keena Higginson, Alex McCutcheon-Barrett, JD Mananes, Juan Miguel Macalalad, Jafet Monegro and Jack Thomsen.

Congratulations on your selection. 

We would like to thank Built Solid and Stevenson and Taylor for their sponsorship, helping to bring costs down and sponsoring shirts.
