NSWRL WSA's newest staff member, Nathan Hindmarsh will be going one on one with the community in a new monthly segment called "Ask HINDY"... If you have a Rugby League related question you would like to ask Nathan, e-mail it askhindy@nswrlwsa.com.au.
Our first question comes from Linda of St Marys and she asks...
"Hi Nathan, I have a ten year old son who loves his Rugby League and has been to several of your WSA programs like Little League and so forth but he is still hesitent about joining a club as he is quite small for his age... Any suggestions?"
Hey Linda, this is a really common theme amongst a lot of our Junior League players and it is a big reason behind one of our newest initiatives which is our "Weight & Age" program.
The "Weight & Age" concept has been very topical in the news lately and you may have heard some conflicting stories. But essentially we will be running a 4-6 week program out of two locations that will be limited to participants who weigh less than 55kgs and are under the age of 12. The kids are then graded according to their size.
It's a wonderful chance for kids like yours to participate against other kids their size which will help them to gain confidence in their ability and skills.
Hope this helps Linda
