Selection Success for Angus
Breadalbane Aacademy pupil Angus Broad(aged 15) has become the first player from Highland Perthshire to be Selected for the Perthshire RFC Rugby Academy.
The Perthshire RFC Academy is run at the North Inch/Bell`s Sports Centre and each year selects 10 players to go forward into a High Performance Programme which incorporates individual training programmes in strength and conditioning,speed and agility and rugby specific skill.In addition all members of the academy are supported by a network of specialist coaches with the main aim of improving individual rugby performance.Places are highly sought ,and those selected have had to undergo a series of selection processes.
Commenting on Angus` selection,Andy Cummins, PRFC`S Rugby Development Officer says "Angus is showing great potential and the feedback from his coaches is very positive." He added,"Angus was one of the first to be involved in the Rugby after-school clubs held in Aberfeldy and it was clear from the start that he was very keen.He has a great work ethic and has a real passion for the game.We are expecting great things from him in the future."
Angus has to travel to Perth for training four nights a week so this places a lot of demands on his time and family life.Mike Broad,(Angus` father) says" we are delighted by Angus` selection.It is a great opportunity for him to develop his rugby.It is worth saying that this would not have happened were it not for the great work of the Highland Perthshire Sports Trust and their local coaching programme that Angus has been a part of for the last few years.It is really good that due to the Sports Trust youngsters from a rural area are now getting the same chances as city kids."
