As far as i'm aware there's no official policy re the youth kids, many as young as 15 yrs., (Teeboy Kamara is just one) and attending school. They are on an amateur contract earning as little as 2k a season. The aleague youth league are well behind behind the other sports in stipulating and policing education as the priority.

The nrl has a no exceptions regulation of youth players attending school, uni or tafe to gain and retain a contract and also provide compulsory, midweek days off training to attend the courses

Arnt most of the players aged between 17-20 so most of them are still at school? So is it just fulltime for players who have finished school or all players.

I know at Glory it's full-time professional training, nutrition, and player development. Same sort of environment as the first team has... probably better actually because Gareth Naven is a clued in sort of guy and doesn't cop shit from anyone.


As for what they do session-wise, not sure off the top of my head unfortunately.

I am very interested to know how often NYL teams are training, Is it full-time? Also what training are they doing (for example, technical/tactical on on day and then stregth on another.)
