Who is this program for?
High school aged athletes who have some experience in rugby. Keltics Academy is not a “learn to play” program but rather a fundamental skill development program.
We combine introduction to strength & conditioning with weekly skill sessions that will focus on non-position specific skills (Run/Catch/Pass, Ball Out of Contact, Ball in Contact, Tackle & Tracking & Breakdown Skills) and weekly online development sessions with topics such as mental performance, nutrition, and how to be successful as a developing athlete.

South Coast Senior League
Round 5 match summary
Figtree Kangaroos 10. 10. 70 defeated Helensburgh Tigers 10. 9. 69
A thrilling encounter saw the Roos come from behind to secure a crucial 1 point victory. Down by 12 points at halftime, captain Jake Morrison sparked the comeback with a brilliant individual goal in the late in the 3rd quarter. Young gun winger Tommy Chen sealed the win with a spectacular off-the-ground finish in the dying minutes. The defensive effort from Mike Stevens and Danny Walsh was outstanding, making crucial tackles when it mattered most.
Best Players: J. Morrison (c), T. Chen, M. Stevens, D. Walsh, S. Parker
