Breakers Academy

We back at it this week! Today and Tomorrow 5-6pm at Breakers HQ.

LETS WORK!

Hope everyone is looking forward to moving out of lockdown on December 3rd, just as much as we are here at the Breakers HQ. We can't wait to have the gym full again!

Until then, we will continue with the Breakers Academy outdoor sessions next week. If you are interested in joining us, the sessions will run on Monday 29th of November and Wednesday 1st of December from 3.45-4.30pm

Cost will be 50$ per child and sessions are available for children aged 10-18 years old. Children who are 12 and over must be double vaccinated in line with the COVID-19 regulations.

Please bring your own Basketball and water bottle.

Stay Safe and see you soon!

Hey Breakers Academy family, some of you will have seen the email sent this morning... Unfortunately, due to Auckland going into Alert Level 3, our training facility is closed and all Breakers Academy and Junior Breakers programmes are suspended until further notice.

Credits will be offered for any sessions missed as a result of the lockdown. We will update you again when we have further information.

Stay safe everyone!! 🙏

We recognise our Year 13 athletes and the efforts they have put in over their years in the Academy programme.
