2011 Gold Coast SUNS Talent Academy Squads in action
The 2011 Gold Coast SUNS Talent Academy has finalised its selections for their inaugural squads with those players chosen having already begun training.
The squads were selected from in and around Northern NSW, the Gold Coast region and the country region of the Gold Coast SUNS zone and have begun honing their skills under the guidance of expert coaching.
The Gold Coast SUNS Talent Academy is a multi-level coaching program for aspiring players aged between 11 and 18 years. It forms a key stage in the pathway from junior sport through to a possible career as an AFL player at the highest level.
The Academy provides an amazing opportunity for aspiring AFL footballers to rub shoulders with senior players and learn from coaches such as Gold Coast SUNS senior coach Guy McKenna, the rest of the GC SUNS assistants and Conditioning staff.
Gold Coast Academy Manager Andrew Johnston said it was great to see all levels of the Academy in action and particularly to have players involved from such a variety of junior AFL clubs, as well as athletes who have never played the game of AFL before.
“We have young players from more than 27 local clubs taking part. That just shows the great spread of potential AFL player breeding grounds coming up strong throughout the region.”
