Junior Breakers Player Program

 

The KFC Qld Breakers club initiated a junior player program in 2003 to assist the development and growth of our junior players and to produce players to fill our future KFC QLD Breakers national league player rosters.

 

This program is still running today with 60 players competing in our 2010 KFC Nugget Cup.  Our current 2010 senior playing rosters have close to 20 players who have come through our junior nugget program.

 

The club also supports our juniors by providing an opportunity for them to represent the KFC QLD Breakers at National Junior Club Championships and select invitational tournaments. In 2010, the club will be entering teams into the National U14 Club championships to be held in Brisbane at the Valley and All Hallows School pools 2-6 April 2010. More details will be provided in early February for player nominations. 

 

Participating Nugget players are allocated into one of 4 teams (Zingers, Twisters, Popcorn chicken or Crispy Strips) which play a round robin competition as warm up games prior to the Saturday night home KFC Queensland Breakers National League Men's and Women's team games.

 

 

Nuggets may volunteer to be Junior Breakers volunteer officials and act as goal judges and scoreboard attendants during the national league games, enabling them to observe games closer than being spectators in the stands.

 

Junior players are strongly encouraged to be spectators at all KFC Queensland Breakers home games and take the opportunity to observe top Australian players (including senior players and former Nuggets compete at the Valley Pool.
