Many of the boys have extra training and trials at the moment in preparation for the state championships on the Queen's birthday long weekend.

We begin our preparations after this weekend for the MacKillop trials (at Forbes) which take place on Monday week 10 (last week of school).

Our preparation is regularly affected every year by wet weather so we schedule the following training sessions.

At the moment we have tentatively booked the following dates - We will determine whether they are all viable depending on everyone's personal circumstances.

Training traditionally has been at Grantham but given I no longer work in Marayong this may change since I've moved to Penrith

Week 7 Thursday training 4 - 5.30pm

Week 8 Tuesday training 4 - 5.30pm

Week 8 Thursday training 4 - 5.30pm

Week 9 Tuesday training 4 - 5pm & Trial vs Sydney West PSSA kick off at 5pm

Sunday prior to Monday's trials 3pm joint MacKillop and Polding Skills session*****


 * The skills session is a new initiative. It will allow selectors to see players demonstrate skills in isolation. This will benefit outside backs who may not receive a lot of touches in the trials and forwards who have limited time together to practise scrummaging. It is recommended that all players make the effort to arrive early in Forbes for this session.

If you are a Sunday comp player you should advise your coach you may be unavailable. If some of your team mates are also representing Parra Dio you might suggest they approach the committee to change their rd9 game.
