Attention Players,
The Gold Coast SUNS Talent Academy together with AFL Capricornia invite boys and girls from the under 13 and under 15 age groups to register and participate for the 2019 Capricornia Cobras Summer Skills Program. The Capricornia Cobras Summer Skills training will give you the best opportunity to progress into the Sun’s Talent Academy in the future via the AFL Queensland player pathway representative games in the 2020 season.
The SUNS Academy will be working closely with the regions summer skills program and the under 15 and 16 representative cobra programs throughout the year. The entire program will be overseen by the Regional Suns Development Coaches Michael Rose (Female), Brad Matheson (Male), Tim Boston (Port Curtis) and Scott Smithwick (AFLQ). It is imperative that you engage in this key program which will aid your development as well as provide the opportunity to be identified for Capricornia talent programs in the future.
The summer skills program will be conducted at two locations pre-Christmas. Rockhampton State High School for the Rockhampton and Yeppoon players and Tannum Sands State High School for Port Curtis players. The summer skills program will consist of six sessions and participants will receive a training hat and water bottle.
The Rockhampton sessions will be conducted at Rockhampton State High School on a Wednesday night only. The Port Curtis sessions will be conducted on a Monday and Wednesday night. Please see the attached schedule for a complete list of times and dates.
