FRU to host its inaugural Skills Programme for age grade teams.

Fiji Rugby Union will for the first time host a Holiday Skills Programme for Under-14, 15, 16 and 17 grades next Wednesday and Thursday at the High Performance Unit in Suva.

FRU Chief Executive John O’Connor said the main motive behind this initiative is to develop players in a professional environment.

“These age grade players will have a lot of learn during their programme.

We will also keep monitoring these players so that they are ready to represent Fiji in any age grade competition next year or in future”

Elite Player Pathway Manager Bill Gadolo said the scouting in all grades were done by Fiji Rugby HPU Coaches who were present during the Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby Unions Zone competitions and at Vodafone Deans finals.

He added “Specific areas such as core skills and positional role were selection priorities.”

“The skills camp is vital in keeping tabs on players coming up the pathway” said Gadolo.

He added they have a very tight programme next week as players are expected to achieve specific targets over the two days.

Gadolo said “Objective for the day would be to database players and induct players on the basics of strength and conditioning, Injury management and core skills”
