AFL Cairns Juniors would like to invite you to attend the AFLCJ Bendigo Bank U14/16/17 Cairns Lions Summer Development Program for 2013/2014. The program is designed for AFL Cairns Youth Players who have aspirations of playing representative football or simply want to improve their own football and fitness.
During training we will be concentrating on skill, game sense, running and strength development, all key areas for today’s footballers. Our program will focus on encouraging players to be the best they can but we do have guidelines that individuals must follow if they commit to the program.
Some players are already part of the Gold Coast Academy Squad. This program (Cairns Lions) will be in addition to the Academy program. Level 3 GC Academy members will continue their academy program as per usual. Level 1 and 2 members who are only doing one academy session per week are invited to take part in the Cairns Lions program for an additional training session each week.
Details for U14, U16 and U17 training groups listed below:
U14 (Born 2000), U16 (Born 1999/1998) & U17 (Born 1997)
Venue: Cazalys Stadium or Esplanade (Players will be advised)
Start date: Monday 4th November (two sessions per week)
Time: 4.30pm – 6.00pm
