SA Rugby on Tuesday announced a new structure to the 2016 Coca-Cola Youth Weeks, with the junior tournaments being hosted concurrently in Paarl and the Under-18 tournaments in Durban. In the past all the tournaments were hosted at different venues.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>The Under-13 Coca-Cola Craven Week and Under-16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week will be hosted simultaneously at Paarl Gymnasium from 4 to 8 July, and the Coca-Cola Academy Week and Under-18 Coca-Cola Craven Week will be hosted between 11 and 16 July at Kearsney College in Durban.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>The Learners with Special Education Needs (LSEN) Week, meanwhile, will be hosted at the Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool (Affies) in Pretoria from 27-30 June.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>\u201cThe new structure of our Youth Weeks will have several benefits, the biggest of which is that we will be able to ensure that the Mobi-Unit coaches, the national selectors, our High Performance staff and the SA Rugby Academy Coaches will be able to attend all the tournaments,\u201d said SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>\u201cIn the past they either had to split up into two teams to keep an eye on all the tournaments or they had to attend each tournament for only a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>\u201cAnother advantage is that player education with regards to our rugby pathways, safety campaigns, referee recruitment programmes and contracting could be done simultaneously with both groups of players.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>\u201cThe new structure will also create a festival of rugby at each venue for the players, their families and friends, while boosting the camaraderie among the players. With these changes, the players and supporters can look forward to an action-packed SA Rugby Youth Weeks series from start to end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Dates and venues for the SA Rugby Youth Weeks:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span>\u00b7 27-30 June: LSEN Week \u2013 Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool (Affies), Pretoria<\/span> <\/span>Issued by SA Rugby Corporate Affairs<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SA Rugby on Tuesday announced a new structure to the 2016 Coca-Cola Youth Weeks, with the junior tournaments being hosted concurrently in Paarl and the Under-18 tournaments in Durban.
