Adolescent Age U15-19

At this level, competitive training will be introduced so as to create an environment that acts as stepping stone for higher levels of competition such as Club Sports and School District Leagues.

It is compulsory for the athletes to participate in at least one training session per week. Failure to do so will result in the athlete not being part of the weekly league matches.

All athletes associated with the Academy will benefit vastly from our training and sporting facilities. There also is the additional benefit of sporting trials for excelling and outstanding athletes with various well known clubs.

Our Academy also exposes its athletes through life changing sports related tours in and around South Africa and abroad.

For those athletes that excel at this level can also earn a spot in the Hurricanes Sporting Club.
