Rotorua is well represented in the Bay of Plenty Under 18 and Under 16 wider training squads named today.

Extended squads have been named to cover potential school commitments around the National Under 15, Top Four, and co-ed competitions with numbers to be reduced closer to competition time.

The Bay of Plenty Under 18 team have a tough programme this year with games against Auckland, Auckland Divisional, North Harbour, Northland and Thames Valley U20.

Under 18's coach Nick Leask said the coaching team were excited to work with the players and faced a new challenge this year in the Northern Region A competition following their success in 2015.

"This year, we are aiming to develop athletes who have an excellent attitude towards hard work and are reflective of their own performance," he said.

The Under 16's have a new coaching team under Aaron Bidois with the highlight match being a curtain raiser at Waikato Stadium to a potential shield challenge by the Canterbury Mitre 10 Cup team on September 28th.

The Under 18's are required to attend training at Paengaroa on Wednesday July 27 at 5:30pm.
