Having long been a nursery for the Sharks with an extensive list of NRL and junior representative players coming through the school program, Endeavour Sports High in Caringbah is the perfect place to combine a quality education with elite level sport.
Offering quality coaching and a unique Rugby League experience, Endeavour Sports High is accepting registrations for trialists interested in being a part of the Year 7 Rugby League Targeted Sports Program in 2024.
The trials are scheduled to take place early in Term 2 on Tuesday, May 2 and Friday, May 5.
Endeavour Sports has enjoyed a successful association with the Sharks extending over two decades, with senior school coaches Dave Howlett (2023 Sharks SG Ball) and Brad Kelly (2023 Matthews Cup) currently involved in the Sharks junior representative and pathways program.
Howlett also enjoyed a stint as a Sharks NRL assistant coach from 2018-2020 and has wins in the SG Ball and Jersey Flegg competitions on his coaching resume.
“While the Rugby League program is a significant part of the schooling experience, education still comes first at Endeavour Sports High School,” Howlett said. “Students are supported with both their studies and sport in a caring and nurturing environment, geared to bring out the best in each individual.”
Current Sharks NRL squad members Will Kennedy and Teig Wilton are Endeavour ‘old boys’, as are the likes of Alex Johnston (Souths), Jamayne Isaako (Dolphins), Martin Taupau (Broncos), Paul Momirovski (Roosters), Reece Robson (Cowboys), Scott Sorensen (Panthers), Shaun Lane (Eels) and Luciano Leilua (Cowboys), while a number of players in the current Sharks Jersey Flegg team are also recent graduates of the school and the targeted sports Rugby League program.
Kennedy arrived from Bathurst largely unheralded but with perseverance and the support of his teachers and rugby league coaches at Endeavour, has grown into a leading player for the Sharks at the NRL level.
“I really enjoyed my schooling experience at Endeavour. They certainly assisted with my Rugby League development, while I have no doubt the culture and educational opportunities at the school also helped to make me a better person,” Kennedy said.
“Will is a great example of the opportunity that the school and Targeted Sports Program can offer students who are good characters, have a passion for Rugby League and are willing to work hard to achieve their goals,” Howlett added.
