CCL:Revera Talent Development Camp
CCL:Revera Talent Development Camp Players and Coaching
Staff Announced December 20, 2019 New
Zealand Rugby League (NZRL) will kick off the new year with
the CCL:Revera Talent Development Programme (TDP). The camp
will engage nearly 125 potential Kiwi and Kiwi Ferns
players, arming them with resources and skillsets necessary
to fulfil their international rugby league aspirations. The following aspiring Kiwis and Kiwi Ferns will head
into camp at St. Peters School in Cambridge on Wednesday
15th January through to Saturday 18th next year. The
TDP is designed for sub-elite players to enhance their
skills, strength & conditioning, as well as gain a better
understanding of player welfare, all with the hope of
encouraging those who dream of playing in the NRL to stay in
New Zealand until they are 18. The TDP aims to better
prepare the players for the rigours of high-performance
environments such as the NRL and NRLW and also doubles as a
player entry point for selection in the NZ 16s and 18s wider
squads for 2020. While in camp there will be several
keynote speakers who will talk to personal brand and
development including educational and career aspirations,
resilience, as well as other relevant subjects which have an
impact on young and aspiring athletes. Cloud
Technology company, CCL:Revera has been announced as the
naming rights sponsor of the TDP extending their current
partnership with NZRL beyond the football field. While
players are in camp, they will be introduced to different
career pathways that will be complementary to their future
professional careers.
Andrew Allan, CEO of
CCL:Revera says, “Our partnership with Rugby League allows
CCL:Revera to extend its reach beyond the try line,
providing a vehicle for budding and current players to
remain connected to the game through career opportunities
within the IT Industry. Rugby League is close to the hearts
of many of our staff and our families. So as fans of the
game, we are excited that our partnership will continue to
develop and grow this great game for all New Zealanders both
on and off the field.” Kiwis Head Coach Michael
Maguire and Captain Benji Marshall will also be in
attendance. Maguire will be running technical and tactical
workshops (game preparation, video analysis, motivation and
engagement) with the coaches, while Marshall will be working
closely with the young halves on technical and tactical
skills relevant to their positions. NZRL will also
be working in conjunction with the Vodafone Warriors who
will join the camp with their 16s and 18s teams on the
penultimate day attending the same sessions as the players
identified for the NZRL TDP. NZRL General Manager of
High-Performance, Motu Tony says, “Being able to
incorporate the development of the women’s game as well as
involve legends of the sport is extremely exciting. “These camps enable us to carry on and increase the
momentum our game is seeing by preparing our player
prospects and future high-performance managers and coaches
for the rigours of international rugby league. We are
fostering the next generation of Kiwis and Ferns as we work
towards the upcoming World Cups - the future is looking
bright.” NZRL congratulate all those selected
to partake in the 2020 CCL:Revera Talent Development
