Croydon Hurricanes RLC

The season cant come quick enough for the South London U18s squad as its players are all very excited at getting back to training and playing!

This year the academy will be coached by Mick Gray. Mick is an Australian school teacher and has a great knowledge of the game and has coached in some of the top Australian rugby league schools. He has a strong back ground in strength and conditioning and was an assistant coach for the Croydon Hurricanes U16s Grand Final squad in 2011. He also is a valued player for South London Storms first team.

As a U18 player the guys are coming into an exciting time and are at an age where there are a lot of opportunities to further their Rugby League career. Along side the extended Youth League they will be playing in, there is a Youth Cup they will be entered in, along with numerous representative opportunities. These include the London Origin Series, Regional Squads and National appointments. Involved in all these areas are London Broncos RL who are using these events to bolster their academies and looking for future Super League players.

The clubs new ground at Archbishop LanFranc School with its brand new 3G floodlit pitch along side its renovated grass pitch, gives us one of the best training and playing facilities in greater London.

There will be a sign on night on Tuesday 7th February between 6.00-8.00pm at the Archbishop Lanfranc School where all player old and new will be able to register for the year.

Pre season training will start on Tuesday 14th February between 6.00pm-7.15pm and will run every Tuesday during the season or unless changed by the squad. The squad will be looking to train two nights a week along side the senior squads as the season gets into gear.
