JB Sporting Services partner with the Capras
LOCAL athletic development business, JB Sporting Services, have officially joined forces with the Central Queensland (CQ) Capras to improve rugby league programs in the CQ region. The two organisations announced the partnership on Tuesday, February 4, and noted this represents a “promising step forward for the development of rugby league”.
“By joining forces, we aim to expand access to the sport, ensuring growth and development in both female and male participants,” they said in a joint statement.
“This collaboration is set to positively impact our region, encouraging broader participation in the sport we love.”
JB Sporting Services owner, Jarrod Bailey, said the partnership will include teaming up on a range of workshops.
“We get to collaborate together and when we have events, we will go out in forces in the west and run things together,” he said.
“If I’ve got clinics or camps, they will supply a wellbeing officer, or a coach for education.”
Jarrod said the semi-professional team approached him asking to work together, after admiring his high-quality rugby league camps and clinics.
“They seemed like what my camp was like in Chinchilla, and they rang me up and we had a conversation,” he said.
“We ticked every box and we were working on creating the same things, and we’re crossing over areas too.
“They knew I had connections and a good rapport in their area, it was just a no-brainer that we come together and partner up, it was the best thing for local rugby league.”
This partnership will also provide more opportunities to young rugby league players looking to make the sport their career one day.
