The school holiday-based Pacific Sports Management (PSM) rugby league pathways clinic will come to Mudgee on April 18 to provide an opportunity for junior athletes from various age groups looking to expand their rugby league skill base and knowledge.
The clinic created by senior professional coaches such as Former Penrith, NSW and Australian Rugby League player and current Manly Sea Eagles assistant coach John Cartwright, will also act as a way for coaches to identity elite juniors who are host to traits of high character and talent who run the possibility of being scouted and asked to join the PSM Academy.
"Camps like this are very important, they are the pathway to a potential career in NRL," Daly Cherry-Evans, captain of the Manly Sea Eagles said.
They were a very important part of my life and something I really enjoyed.

"As a kid growing up I went to quite a few camps, it was a way for us to enjoy rugby league," Nate Myles, former Melbourne Storm player said.
The event is expected to reel in up to 100 rugby league players on the day, and is expected to make a return in 2020 and 2021.
"We are certain this is going to be the start of a long partnership between Pacific Sports Management and the Mudgee community," PSM spokesperson said.
