Over one thousand young Collingwood members enjoyed a Junior Football Clinic at Olympic Park last Tuesday. All young ‘Thommo’s Team 13’ members were invited to the clinic where they were able to refine their skills and impress the Collingwood players who were all in attendance.
CTV spoke to Rhyce Shaw as he took the kids through some drills with the tackle bags, "It's really enjoyable for the kids...the kids love running into the bags and getting dirty," said Shaw.
The Collingwood players set up a wide range of activities for the young members to participate in. Whilst the young members were put through their paces, the morning was based around excitement and enjoyment.
The holiday clinic gave Thommo’s Team 13 members the opportunity to meet their favourite players, ask them unusual questions and gain autographs.
Thommo’s Team 13 members also receive invitation to a clinic prior to our home games at the MCG and Telstra Dome.
Please be aware, for members who have already registered for next week's clinic, there is limited parking available around the Olympic park complex. Public Transport is recommended.
