TRAINING THIS WEEKEND
It will be a quiet weekend at training this Saturday.
The U5 – U10 will all be taking part in the TRC Junior Cup – good luck to all the teams!
The U11 and U12 will also be away are they are playing friendlies at Centaurs.
Touch training on Sunday is on as normal.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
It seems that the SCC Rugby Academy is receiving some poor reviews on Google, which we believe (and hope!) are being made by children from competitor clubs. Unfortunately we are not able to remove these reviews. The only way we can improve our rating therefore, is to ask our parents and players to provide positive reviews for us.
All you need to do is follow this link and give the SCC Rugby Academy a rating – Google Review
THURSDAY STRENGTH & CONDITIONING AND SKILLS TRAINING
We invite all SCC Academy players (U8 and up) to join for S&C and Skills clinics on Thursdays. All players who don’t have planned team trainings organised by their respective teams, can join in to learn foundational movements and hone their rugby skills.

When: Thursdays 5.30pm (In term, unless otherwise specified)
Where: SCC Dempsey fields

If you have left Singapore, or your child is just taking a break from the Academy this term, please don’t forget to drop a note to Sarah at info@sccrugbyacademy.com so we can update TeamSnap and the team lists.
TRAINING FEES DUE FOR 2nd TERM 2019
Training fees for Term 2 are now due. To check how much you owe for your child, select their team under My Teams on the dashboard page, and then the Payments tab to see their listing.
Please note that on your TeamSnap “home page”, it will show that you have no fees due for “Registration” – you paid this when your child first joined the Academy.
You need to select your child’s team (under My Teams), and then the Payments tab, to find this term’s Training Fees.
LATE PAYMENT CHARGES
Please note that unfortunately we have had to increase the late payment charge as the number of late payers has been increasing each term. A 15% charge will now be added to all unpaid fees after the 4th week of term – for this term, the late fee will come into effect on Friday 24th May 2019.
PAYPAL
We now accept PayPal through the TeamSnap application. Just go to the Payments tab on your child’s profile, and you will find the fee amount due and a link for PayPal if you would like to use this service. Please note that the PayPal link can only be found in the web version of TeamSnap, and does not show on the app version.
