Elite Player Pathway to prepare next wave of talent

The Fiji Rugby High Performance Elite Player Pathway is prepared to welcome a new wave of recruits for the upcoming year.

A two-day camp was held this week and served as an administrative checkpoint for players as the academy prepares for off-season training and preparation.

Elite Pathways and Performance Manager Bill Gadolo who is the driving force behind the academy’s success, said the two-day program is geared towards laying the groundwork for the welfare of players.

“The academy is the underpinning program for our national teams, and it’s crucial that we get the administrative stuff out of the way,” Gadolo said.

“The two-day camp is instrumental in ensuring that we have everything sorted and covered, setting the stage for a well-prepared off-season.”

Gadolo added, “The overarching goal of the Elite Player Pathway Academy has remained constant for over eight years which is to nurture exceptional talent that can be integrated into the national teams.”

“Whether it’s the men’s 7s, the Flying Fijians, or the Drua, the academy aims to produce players of exceptional caliber. Additionally, the focus extends to the women’s game, with an emphasis on contributing to the success of both the Fijiana 15s program and the Fijiana 7s,” he said.

As the Fiji Rugby Elite Player Pathway program gears up for another year of talent development, Fiji Rugby anticipates the emergence of a new generation of players who will carry the Fijian flag onto the international rugby stage.

The HPU Girls camp begins tomorrow.
