Junior Roosters run school holiday clinic

The Woy Woy Junior Roosters ran a junior rugby league school holiday clinic in partnership with NRL game development officers on Friday, July 5, at Rogers Park, Woy Woy.

The clinic, which is its sixth year, is open to girls and boys from five to 12 years of age, with a number of non-rugby league players participating as well as a large number of players from clubs on the Coast.

The day saw 111 participants put through their paces, completing 11 drills which covered the basic fundamentals of junior rugby league.

"It was fantastic to see a number of girls and boys enjoying learning more about the great game of rugby league for the first time, in a healthy, safe and fun environment provided by all the supervisors," said Woy Woy Junior Rugby League Football Club secretary Mr Tim McParlane.

"It was a great day had by all.

"Laurie Taylor and John Jewiss from NRL Game Development and other NRL staff were present on the day, as well as Woy Woy under-16 players and the two under-13s, Johnny Saley and Campbell Sheppard.

"It was fantastic to see the older boys working with the younger children."
