JB Sporting Services junior girls league camp
Just months after opening JB Sporting Services, owner Jarrod Bailey has held various sports clinics throughout rural Queensland to provide club culture and team building training.
Jarrod has been holding clinics locally in Kilcoy and surrounds, and as far out to Chinchilla and Blackall, for rugby league, cricket and even at childcare centres.
More recently, Jarrod held a girls only 13-17-year-old rugby league camp in Chinchilla, to teach valuable lessons about mateship, defence and attack skills.
“Day one was about connection so building connections with other girls, friendships and team building games, we made it fun where they could design their own logos and come up with their team names and do charades and all that,” he said.
“Day two they were still in their teams and it’s all about defence work and team building, and day three was focused on attack, so a lot of work with the ball.
“Mainly we want to get kids off the internet and iPads, so they had limited access to their phones during the camp because it’s all about team building, connection and creating relationships with people from different areas.”
Jarrod added how significant it is to offer high quality sport clinics in rural towns like Chinchilla.
“It’s hugely important especially for kids in our western camps, because they don’t get that opportunity to get into these camp formats, and I think this is only the start because we’ve been flooded with enquiries,” he said.
He has been approached by clubs including Charleville, Yepoon and even Esk to help improve club culture in rural grass roots rugby league clubs.
“As a small business we had the Esk Brisbane Valley Bulls reach out to see if we can help assist with a rebuild of their club,” Jarrod said.
“We are going to help out with a clinic as well, so we are doing a free clinic for the local club to try and get them off their feet and provide them with some experience and guidance there as well.”
Jarrod has past experience working for the NRL, providing clinics all over Australia, with a strong passion to offer his services to rural towns.
He will also serve as the junior vice president of the Stanley River Wolves this season.
