First training session involving the Pacifique Treize Nouméa training squad. Focus is on introducing young athletes in the region to the rules and techniques of the code in coordinated weekly sessions before a High Performance Programme is rolled out in 2021.

Are you involved in PT mate, or just interested in it? All looks great anyway

They started off very active, running regular coaching clinics and training sessions in New Caledonia and Solomon Islands. But now over this last year or so, to have gone very quiet. Does anyone know what is going on with them?

The weekly sessions in Noumea have continued for the past 12 months, with exception to the period New Caledonia was in lockdown. 

Now, thanks to New Caledonia finally opening its borders to Australia, Pacifique Treize has been able to get Dane Campbell (North Queensland Cowboys) and Laurent Gardner (Brisbane Tigers) to help kick start the High Performance Academy and build on the corporate & government relationships which unfortunately were on hold when NC was closed to everywhere but France.
