GOAL OF SESSIONS: 

THIS IS NOT A TRY-OUT. The goal is to provide an opportunity to athletes that may not necessarily be on the Jr. Blues radar to show their stuff. (Players that have been to our Winter Academy and RO Provincial Teams are also welcome)

CONTENT: 

Focus will be Pass/Catch and Running Lines with a variety of non-contactgame play.

The final session will be a technical session focusing on 1 on 1 ruck/ball pinching work followed by RUCK TOUCH Game Play. 

*Note to High School Coaches: We will not be bashing your athletes. This is purely an identification session.

 HIGH SCHOOL AND CLUB COACHES:

Please encourage your BESTathletes (especially those who have not previously been involved in the Ontario Provincial Junior Program) to attend. I guarantee that they will have a great time playing with other High-Performance Athletes, as well as seeing our own TORONTO ARROWS in action.
