The 2006 Keebra Park development day for next years intake of grade 8 students was held recently at Main Beach and while the weather was pretty rugged it did little to interfere with the days activities.

70 boys travelled from afar afield as Brisbane and New South Wales for the camp that is a way of introducing the squad to each other in preparations for next years entry into the sports specialisation program.

There was a testing and skills session in the morning followed by a hearty breakfast of gourmet sausage sandwiches ably prepared by Nerang's own Pete Stephens (On Tongs) and Darren Hart (On flipper thingy). The afternoon saw a more lighthearted approach with a games based approach aimed at breaking down a few barriers and giving the boys more freedom to express themselves.

This is the second year that these pre-High School camps have been held and they really do ensure a smooth transition from primary to high school.
Organise Kurt Richards was pleased that despite the weather the day was a huge success.
"We have everybody here that was expected and that shows that what we are doing is valued in the football community" he said.
" I'm sure that everyone has seen that we as a school have a professional approach to our football and days like these allow parents to see that their sons will be immersed in a positive, disciplined environment as they embark on the latter stages of their education" he added.

With the school having it's most successful year to date in 2006, it is good to see that the future is looking bright with such a group of talented recruits ready to join the ranks in 2007.

Good luck boys!!!!!
