The Tip Sheet sits down this week with Adam Fairley, the General Manager of Parramatta Junior Rugby League.
Sixties and Forty20 discuss the state of the Parramatta district as the recovery from the brutal COVID impacted years hits full stride.
Rising participation rates past the high numbers of 2019, and the year on year growth in the female space are driving the district forwards and the trio discuss what more can be done.
League adjacent programs like League Tag and touch footy and the introduction of a the season launch at CommBank Stadium and a gala day at Old Saleyards are just some of the programs helping engage Parramatta juniors.
The community spirit among clubs and the rise of positive social media feature in the discussion and Adam also details how Parramatta Leagues Club funding is used to reduce costs for juniors and to provide training and equipment.
Fairley has worked heavily to spotlight the things that make junior rugby league so memorable – including games of the week and sensational tries scored across the competitions. You can see some of that on their Facebook and Instagram accounts.
You’ll hear all about it in this informative podcast.
I recommend people hit the social media accounts of the Eels Juniors. I’ve added a hyperlink to the Facebook account in the post. You can also head to their Instagram for great content, including tries of the week, coaching tips, photos and kids learning to shine on the microphone as well as on the field.
