Provide the latest infrastructure necessary for pathways for our junior rugby players through Colts, Grade and representative rugby.
This includes training equipment, grounds, S&C facilities
Provide the best coaching resources, coaching training, specialist coaches and other rugby specific training programs e.g. training camps, junior academies, 7’s programs;

We have already started...
Ned Slack-Smith, a local Warringah Junior, was recently awarded the inaugural Rats Rising Scholarship.
To ensure we retain, nurture and promote our local juniors, the program aims to award scholarships annually to help them achieve their dreams.
Ned is now contracted to the Western Force and recently selected in the Junior Wallabies team for the U20’s World Championships.
Hopefully, we can help this Rat rise to the top of Australian Rugby.
