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

CONTACT RUGBY IS FOR GIRLS!

So come and give it a try!

We are starting a Girls Contact group during Saturday morning training for girls from U10 to U18. The squad will be coached by the Captain of the Singapore Nationals 7s team, Marah Ishraf, who brings a wealth of experience with him. Beginners and experienced players are welcome!

Let’s put the glamour into girls contact rugby! The first session will be held at SCC Dempsey Playing Fields, 71G Loewen Road on Saturday May 18th 9.15 AM

Drop Sarah a line at info@sccrugbyacademy.com if you think your daughter might be interested, so we have an idea of numbers.

HAVE YOU LEFT?

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.

Alternatively, you can also pay by bank transfer. Details for a bank transfer are as follows:

Account Name: The Rugby Academy Ltd

Account No: 0339049654

Bank Name: DBS

Branch Code: 033
