Monday 23rd April saw the launch of THC’s the innovative and unique Thatto Aspire Programme.

The first session was entitled “Our Rugby League Journey” with special guests Kyle Amor and Paddy Flynn delivering the session. as our special guests.
Kyle and Paddy were invited to a Q & A session with members from our u14’s,15’s and 16’s teams.

Our lads got the opportunity to ask Kyle and Paddy about their path to Super League stardom and learned from them that opportunities don’t necessarily materialise for all at a young age, but most definitely do come as a result of hard work and commitment!

Both, shared stories of their challenges, disappointments and successes along the way, and reinforcing the message that education and an alternative career plan are vitally important.

The Q & A was followed by Kyle and Paddy taking the lads out onto the pitch 1 and putting them through their paces in an action packed training session modeled on Super League practices.

There has been lots of positive feedback and messages of thanks from parents and players following the first session event which has been music to the ears of the Aspire programmes, which has delighted all at the club but particularly organisers Tracy Kilgannon, Tommy Frodsham and Phil Glover who are already pulling together next month’s event.

Details of the second T.A.P session will be sent out soon and we hope to see even more of our Year 10 and 11 boys taking advantage of this very special development programme.
