Eagle Vale High School will offer a range of target sports programs from 2025. The foundation sports will be basketball, cricket and rugby league.
Overview
· The Targeted Sports Program is all about player development, it is NOT about games or game time.
· The focus of the Targeted Sports Program is training, and as such, games are not guaranteed. In any given year the number of games played for each sport will be dependent upon the respective sport, the nature of competition/s entered, as well as the age group that the team is competing in.
· The main points of contact are the Director of Sports and Craig Butler (Principal, Eagle Vale High School). They can be contacted on 02 4626 5088.
· The Talented Sports Program is a user pays program with fees used to pay external coaches, purchase training gear, school Jumper, sport polo shirt, pay for venues, referees, and so on. All other uniform items will need to be purchased from school. The annual fee will be $1000, plus transport costs for various competitions and events. Fees are payable in instalments and (limited) Financial Hardship Scholarships may be available on application.
· Students need to demonstrate sporting potential, ‘coachability' and the right attitude.
· Students are not required to be superstars at age 11! In fact, the Targeted Sports Program may help students gain selection into local representative teams through the extra training and fitness sessions they do at school. However, there is a basic level of fitness and skill ability as well as specific sporting criteria to meet. It is highly recommended that students are also enrolled in their local sporting club in their chosen sport.
