Aspire Program – Concept

The programs concept came from THC’s Tracy Kilgannon after gaining a small insight into the SL Scholarship offering & wanting to provide an alternative but fully accessible opportunity to ALL of our (14-16 year old ) members.

Her idea was to offer a training and development program to help our scholarship aged members maximize their full potential both on and off the field.
Whatever they aspire to be, we want to help them on their chosen pathways.

Both THC’s Tommy Frodsham and Phil Glover are working alongside Tracy in formulating the development sessions, getting the right people on board to deliver them and bringing her vision to life.
The program is unique to our club and will initially be available to our y10 & 11 boys with a view to extending it to the girls section in the future.
We will offer a wide variety of monthly sessions to help our young members identify the best career path for them and assist them on their way. We will also provide opportunities to help them reach their full rugby playing potential whether they aspire to play for the top amateur RL club in the country – Thatto Heath Crusaders or to reach professional standard.

Lots of current and ex super league players have “signed up” to delivering training and q&a sessions, along with fitness, nutrition and conditioning experts.
The armed forces, local universities, colleges and The Chamber of commerce are also excited to be involved and will be offering careers advice and an insight into what they have to offer.

It is an exciting, ever evolving program!
