18.01.2022 We have some footage of the (FRC) Front Rowers from last Sunday in both age sections. The panel consisted of Ex Reds and Ireland test Prop Tom Court, Ex Western force Prop Salesi Manu and Ex Brumbies Prop Murray Harley. You will see some a amazing footage of Salesi with a few kids in the younger group teaching them the very basics of scrummaging which is a major facet of the game and simply cannot be overlooked by teenage coaches. ... It’s our panels view that the kids must be exposed to specific coaching in this area starting in the early teenage years and from experienced people who have put their heads in the dark places and know what they’re talking about. Furthermore you’ll see a Q & A scenario where the panel answers a question from a player and Ex Reds/ Ireland/ British Irish Lions Tight Head Tom Court and Loose Head Murray Harley explain to the kids the nuances of setting in the scrum with a focus on head and arm position. The attention to detail, the knowledge and communicative nous of our panel illustrates the quality of education these players are getting. We can see by the questions the kids are hungry for knowledge and at C2K we are pleased they are being satisfied. The FCR is one of the fastest growing groups at C2K where kids are coming done and staying the duration of their school years, constantly showing up and learning from our group of past players. We will have e some more footage coming soon.

13.01.2022 We have some footage of last Sunday at Easts where our Program Coordinator Alex North caught up with former Reds players Nathan Spooner, Chris Latham and Jeremy Austin who all work in the Backs division of C2K. They are all a vital part of our coaching panel and each kid who comes under their tutelage value their mentorship. You’ll hear Spoons speak of the growth and quality of the coaching panel which is unparalleled anywhere in this country. We hear Latho note that improv...ements in kids who are continually showing up and the genuine thanks he receives from parents of the players. Jeremy highlights the desires of the kids who are from the regions and how they aspire to get into C2K. It speaks volumes for the program and is a place for any player who is keen to improve their skill level. It’s great to hear these personal anecdotes and how they view C2K. These guys are massive contributors and value the holistic approach of the C2K program. We are constantly receiving positive messages either thanking the coaches or a snapshot of a kids C2K experience. We are all about providing positive learning experiences and creating opportunities for kids from everywhere to learn the game. With more and more past players joining in we are expecting bigger and better things in 2021 as we continue our passionate drive to educate our kids on the finer details of the game. We will have more footage coming soon.

12.01.2022 A big congrats to Reds No 9 Tate McDermott on his first ever Wallaby selection on the bench for this weekends Bledisloe in Sydney. He’s had a fantastic season and deserves everything that comes his way. Tate has been a massive supporter of the program and regular visitor at C2K over the last few years helping the kids and attending whenever he can. ... The whole C2K family are right behind him and we wish him well.

09.01.2022 We are in the process of finalising all C2K sponsorship for 2021. If you would like some information on how you can support the program please either email or DM us. The C2K program is growing each and every year and our past player coaching panel are playing a vital role in the development of our future players. It’s evident by seeing the kids play, the comments from clubs, parents and coaches alike that the skill level and knowledge of our C2K’ers is on a dramatic rise. The... kids that are attending are moving forward in leaps and bounds being exposed to high level position specific skill training in an enhanced learning environment. The aim is to have each and every player present themselves to their post school rugby clubs as efficiently skilled players with a high rugby IQ. This augurs well for the future of the game in QLD, a heartland for Australian Rugby. Our sponsorship requests are needed to provide over 350 uniforms to each and every player and coach. In 2020 we had over 500 players attend C2K sessions with a single day record of 380. We had over 40 past pro player coaches collectively volunteer to form our panel, which is unrivalled anywhere else in Australia, if not the world for teenage rugby academies. All free of charge. If you or someone you know has an interest in rugby and the development of our teenage rugby players and would like to get on board then we’d like to hear from you.

09.01.2022 We have some footage of the the older Forwards group from our recent session at Easts. In the video the players are focussing on the line-out led by former Wallaby line-out ace Nathan Sharpe , Ex Reds look Andrew Farley, Andrew Plastow, Ex Australia No 7s Julian Gardner and Brett Robinson. They were also assisted by current Reds hooker, Alex Mafi and our C2K front row specialists Robbie Russell, Salesi Manu, Tom Court and Murray Harley. The older group of kids, many of whom... have repped for Q in various age groups over the last few years always look forward to these type of sessions where skill correction and education is fine tuned and instructive. You will see the extreme attention to detail as Sharpie mentions in the video the line-out has many different cogs and each player may only have one or two roles come line-out time - but they are all required to be coordinated perfectly in order for the set piece to be a success. As the video progresses you’ll see the improvement and efficiency of the line-out as it looks more functional and cohesive. The PSS training allows for progression and keeps the players returning to C2K hungry to learn and develop their games by being mentored by experienced past pro players. The feedback from coaches, players and parents, especially with this group was amazing at our Easts session as everyone could get up close and listen to what was happening. We can’t wait until next season now.

09.01.2022 We are not far away from 2021 and we at C2K require some help in obtaining sponsorships for the coming season. We are a Not-for-Profit organisation consisting of almost 50 past professional players delivering Free-of-Charge positions specific skill sessions to Queensland’s teenage rugby players. We do 9 annual sessions and invited our best boys and girls from Brisbane and every other region in QLD to ensure our young kids are getting the very best coaching in the PSS space. W...e have few expenses as all of the past players and our admin assistants are volunteers. They do this in an act of giving back to the game and to ensure QLD remains strong in its heritage of producing first class rugby players. Queensland is a heartland for the game in Australia and we need to nurture and develop our kids of the future. There’s no doubt we are providing opportunities for kids everywhere in QLD and even Northern NSW. In 2021 we had over 450 different players attend C2K and receiving advanced coaching from our expert panel of past players in order to give them a head start in the game. We require funding for uniforms for our coaches and each kid who participates so that the C2K experience is special for all involved. In 2020 we handed out over 350 uniforms and in 2021 we hope to do more as our numbers are swelling. If you have any interest or know anyone who may be interested in supporting us please DM or email us.
