Three day camp in December for Junior Reds
Forty of Queensland's best Under 15 rugby players will take part in a Reds-style training camp in December, as the first step on the pathway to higher level state representation.
The Reds coaching staff will run specific sessions to provide the highest level coaching possible to the state's up and coming players and help cultivate their desire to one day play for the QR Reds. The Junior Reds three day camp from December 13-15 will allow the players to participate against their peers in core, position specific and unit/team based skills.
