Match Day Experience
Please scroll to the bottom for the Booking Form.
What we have tried to create for the Garvz Sports Academy through the match day is everything a player would experience except actually playing the game. This has proven to be a rewarding occasion for Sharks Pups. Not only does your child experience the excitement of the game but it also allows him to gain a greater understanding and perception of how the professional rugby player prepares before, during and after the game as they walk around the field at half time waving to the crowd, absorbing the atmosphere and finally as they run onto the field at the end of the game to give the Sharks or opposition something to eat or drink and congratulate them on playing a great game.
DRESS CODE:
- Takkies
- White shorts (or their school PE shorts)
- New Garvz t-shirt
- Garvz Cap
