1 DAY RUGBY LEAGUE CLINIC
BRINDLE PARKWAY RESERVE, BOX HILL
FRIDAY 11TH JULY
12PM - 2PM
SYDNEY'S ONLY RUGBY LEAGUE KICKING CLINIC
LEARN FROM TWO COACHES WHO HAVE PLAYED THE GAME, BUT ALSO STAYED IN THE GAME. PLAYING IS ONE THING, BEING ABLE TO TEACH IS A TRUE DEMONSTRATION OF MASTERY. WITH OVER 30+ YEARS OF PLAYING & COACHING EXPERIENCE, YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
This 1 day Masterclass is designed for kickers looking to hone in on their skills as we head into the business end of the season. Athletes that attend will learn key kicking skills to take back to their respective teams (regardless of level) and be able to implement these skills seamless into their own individual game, but also the team.
While this is the second Masterclass - our Rugby League Program has been helping aspiring and representative Rugby League athletes prepare for the up coming club, Harold Matthews, Lisa Fiaola, SG Ball, Tarsha Gale, Jersey Flegg, NSW Cup Harvey Norman and NRL/ NRLW seasons for the past 4 years. We really have the stats to back it up when we say this is not only exciting for us to deliver, but something you do not want to miss out on!
We target the specific components of what kickers need from a skills perspective including ball drops + shape, efficient ball striking, kicking (short and long), kick selection and game management. By the end of the 2 hour workshop you will have added a bunch of new skills to your toolkit, creating a better hooker or half, but more importantly rugby league player.

I began working with Luke at MetaStrength when I was 18 and had been dropped from my SG Ball team. Since working with him he has helped me understand the value and importance of hard work and dedication. He cares for his athletes as much as any coach I’ve seen and pairs that with a knowledge of the science behind athletic performance. Without doubt, I wouldn’t be the athlete or person I am today had it not been for Lukes guidance and support through the good times and the bad. I would recommend training at MetaStrength for anyone serious about aspiring to be a professional athlete.

I first started working with Luke when I was 13 as both my brothers were training at Metastrength. Luke convinced my mum to let me play footy. I have learnt so much about technique, commitment, hard work, determination, but more importantly being able to turn disappointment, setbacks and feeling defeated into motivation to keep pushing through to get to your dream. He has a belief in you that is contagious, he creates an environment where you grow, develop, learn and you genuinely enjoy being there. He makes you laugh when you want to cry and shows up to everything him and the Metastrength family can.

Metastrength absolutely changed the way I trained and approached training for the better. Luke and the team gave me so much coaching and guidance in forming not only elite training techniques, but habits too. Would recommend Metastrength to any athlete, especially young athletes, looking to level up their training no matter what their goals are!

TYLA AMIATU
NRLW
I had just finished my Tarsha Gale season and was looking for someone who could help develop my skills, fitness and speed for the next step in my footy journey. Luke at Metastrength was highly recommended by a good friend and he did not disappoint. He has been there for me when I hurt my shoulder from NSW City U19, my ankle from Harvey Norman, my knee from NRLW rehabbing me back to full strength, in parallel with the teams medical staff.
Training at Metastrength helped me improve in many areas with not only becoming a good player but becoming a good athlete in general. Metastrength isn’t just a facility, but a safe place to be yourself.

I trained with Metastrength before my first pre-season with Penrith in Harold Matthews. Luke is a very smart coach, he knows what he’s talking about and he’s the best out here. The vibe and community he has created is a testament to not only his character, but how much he genuinely cares about his athletes. Any Rugby League player looking to make their first rep team, or really up their offseason training to prepare for rep footy or pre-season, there is no other place you should be!

I have never had a coach who is so committed and ready to ride a journey with you until i met Luke. He has been by my side through all my up and downs and he has always helped me come out the other side feeling stronger and fitter than ever! As an athlete i wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else!
